But whatever it is, the Dartmoor beast still makes all the farmers in the area sleepless for the night because of fear that the herd will be attacked.

Falconer Martin Whitley, the author of the picture, remembers: 'The animal is only about 200 meters away from where I stand. Its giant body covered with thick black and gray hair. The shoulders are upped like a bull's shoulder, round ears, long and thick tails, seemingly truncated at the tail end. Based on the movement, it seems that it's a female. '
