A baited trap strategically placed in a wet area where an animal would go to quench its thirst, video surveillance and searches have so far failed to find any trace of the Black Panther reportedly seen in Castalla park in Berja, Almeria.
There is also no sign of a large predatory cat having been hunting the local wildlife, but the search continues and the recreational park remains closed to the public.
One must remember that a sighting of a crocodile in Mijas a few months back followed a similar pattern before the creature was eventually located.
