Diane from Tal Sarn in Ceredigion posted about the attacks on the website Puma Watch, which tracks the sightings of big cats in the wild in Wales and the border areas.
She claims that she thinks a string of sheep attacks on in the area were perpatrated by a black leopard (panther) due to their ferocity.

In a post on July 26, Diane said that two adult sheep killed were killed overnight.
She said: "One in the middle of the field with wool on part of the side plucked, a hole in the side, and some intestines eaten.
"The other sheep was dragged under the hedge and most of it was eaten. Two weeks ago, another sheep was dragged under the hedge and rapidly reduced to skin and bones."
On the website they have said "there have been several sightings of black leopards" and claim there has been "confirmed evidence in the mid-2000s".
