POV objection
Good article--but I'm not persuaded that the existence of the Tyrenga is as unambiguously proven as the article currently claims. ("But the skeptics have been proven wrong. The big cat that roams Britain is a mystery no more.") Even the site ukbigcats.co.uk, cited, here, says:

"To this day several photographs exist although none that are without their flaws as conclusive evidence."

If the evidence is so flawless, why am I unable to find a non-cryptozoology source substantiating these claims? Though the evidence is impressive, a quick Google search turns up continued arguments against the existence of a "beast" such as http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2005/04/beast-of-exmoor-and-other-nonsense.html.

Or this from an Exmoor wildlife site:

<<Exmoor Beast Fact or Fiction ? Exmoor National Park has 6 different packs of hounds on the moor, one or more are out on every day of week apart from Sunday - these riders and hounds constantly cover every square inch of Exmoor, often being videoed both by hunt members and others. Also they are accompanied by a multitude of car followers constantly scanning the landscape with binoculars - often with cameras to hand. So the conclusions is - the Exmoor beast would have been seen and photographed many many times by now. Yet to the best of local knowledge, not one single hunting person has even glimpsed the Exmoor Beasts disappearing tail - it cannot exist. Yet extensive damage was done to farm animals several years ago, possible by an escaped big cat from a wildlife park now long gone or a dog who needed his toenails clipping.>>

Can we rework this article to take both sides into account?
