Big cat at the Geiseltalsee: Police warn of dangers in the region!
In the Saalekreis in Saxony-Anhalt, a mysterious big cat causes excitement. According to a report by the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung , the police and veterinary office took measures after a predator in Braunsbedra on the Geiseltalsee was sighted. The Geiseltalsee, less than 40 kilometers from Leipzig's city center, is currently a hotspot for animal lovers and concerned residents.
The police have a large area around the area around the port to avert possible dangers to the population. A warning message was distributed via the emergency app Nina, in which the citizens are asked to inform the control center for fire brigade and emergency services immediately when the animal is viewed. Entering meadows and forests should be avoided so as not to get close to the animal.
The question of identity
The head of the Saalekreis, Sabine Faulstich, expressed that it might be a puma. A video that is supposed to show the animal was shared on the Internet and classified as authentic by experts. Such sightings of predatory cats are not new in the region-it was only in the summer of 2023 that a video of a supposed lion was recorded in Brandenburg, which later turned out to be a wild boar, such as reported. Experts are therefore careful that in this case it is actually a puma.
The reactions are different. While some anglers and walkers in the Geiseltal fear suddenly to meet a big cat, animal lovers are fascinated by the idea. After all, it is an animal that is rarely seen in the region. Events are reminiscent of similar cases in the past, although not everyone has turned out to be real. In July 2023, for example, there was a panic in Berlin that later turned out to be a false alarm.
wild cats in Germany
The discussion about current predator sightings also throws a new light on the population of wild cats in Germany, especially in Bavaria. According to the BUND NATURGUNG there are an estimated 500 wild cats in Bavaria. These animals are widespread in different regions, including in the Spessart, the Rhön and the Haßbergen. However, the preservation of stable populations is a long -term challenge and requires ongoing species protection efforts.
The sights of big cats in Germany show how dynamic and unpredictable the animal world can be. One thing is certain whether it is pumas, wild cats or other predators: nature keeps surprising. So stay on the hat, dear Cologne, and remember to keep a clear distance when you look at such a animal!
