The viewer shared the clip, asking others what they thought it was and some were convinced it was a big cat.

He wrote:  “When I heard mention that viewers had spotted something on the banks of the lake in Rickmansworth I went back and had a look…”

Replying, another viewer remarked: “Looks like a big cat to me. A Black Leopard or Jaguar. It's movement is so much like one of those.”

Another person wrote: “Definitely a cat by the way it sort of stalks away or slinks away,pretty sizeable as well, maybe a small puma type cat.”

As someone else added: “If that's a dog cuzzie, then I'm staying this side of Hertfordshire!! That looks like very large wild cat.”

Last month a 'black panther' was spotted in Gloucestershire.

Experts say the big cat, last seen roaming the countryside in Stroud, "exhibits all the features" of one - and there could be many more across the UK.

It follows a string of other big cat sightings across the UK.

One is feared to be on the prowl near the I'm A Celeb castle after paw prints were found in the grounds.

Footprints thought to be made by a big cat have been spotted in the woods surrounding the Grade I listed 19th-century country house Trelogan, Wales.
