HiLulu, hi, everyone.
What about cats? I know for a fact that black cats are seen as witches’familiars. Yeah. So is it actually a bad thingif you see a black cat crossing your pathin the UK.
Some people still believe that,I have to admit if I'mon the way to an exam or if I'mdoing something very important and a black cat tries to walk across my path, I do tend to........shoo it away, ortrying to scare it away.
You'relike not superstitious but you're somewhat superstitious.
I don't want to .
Youdo not wanna jinxit.
I don't wanna temptfate.
You don't wanna tempt fate. Yes, now to tempt fate here is a little bit like in Chinese we say宁可信其有不可信其无。
Exactly.
Yeah, but you also got some loresabout big cats not justcatcat.
Well yeah, but these are based on modern folklore. So these are called ABCs, Alien Big Cats.
Why alien, not alien ET.
Alien as in foreign. So these creatures are described as being similar to panthers, leopards or pumas. Now this is a little bit of an urban legend. This is kind of more modern folklore. But there have been sightings of big cats in Britainand these have been reported for decadeswhencows,sheeps have been killed. They found strange paw prints in remote areas.
This is soweird. I mean you don't have any wild live population of these cats.
This is the thing,theories about the origin of these big cats,normally come from animals that were released after the dangerous wild animals act of1976. So before then rich people could keep pumas,leopards.
Sonow it's illegal to keep these exotic animals, even if you're super rich,
Wellyou need to get a license.
They probably can get a license.
So some people say actually maybe these are the creatures that were released by the pet owners.
They can't just release them on the streets of England.
Itdoes happen, it does happen.
Thisis ridiculous.
But they don'trelease them on the streets.Forexample, there's the Beast of Bodmin Moorin Cornwall, which is.
OhI think I'vebeen there, Bodmin,there's a jail there, right?
There's a jail. There is a very, very mysterious part of the UK,very bleak, lots of fog, lots ofmist.
Forests?
