Ep 7. Black Beast of Exmoor

In season 2 episode 7 of Monsterquest, titled "Black Beast of Exmoor," the show investigates reports of a mysterious and large black creature that has been sighted roaming the moors of Exmoor, England for many years. For decades people have reported encounters with an unidentifiable creature known as the Beast of Exmoor. Despite various sightings and claims of attacks, no physical evidence of the creature has been found.

To investigate the mystery, the Monsterquest team gathers a team of experts including biologist Dr. Karl Shuker and big cat tracker Frank Tunbridge. The team embarks on a search for the creature, following footsteps and other evidence to determine if the Beast of Exmoor is real or just a legend.

The team studies the local wildlife in the area and interviews eyewitnesses who have had encounters with the creature. One of the eyewitnesses, a farmer, reported that the creature had attacked and killed several of his sheep and other livestock. The team investigates the attack site, looking for any evidence that could lead them to the creature.

As the team continues their investigation, they uncover a history of big cat sightings in the area. Frank Tunbridge explains that there have been numerous sightings of large cats such as leopards and panthers in the countryside, and that these animals could be responsible for the attacks attributed to the Beast of Exmoor.

The team sets up camera traps and uses thermal imaging technology to capture any evidence of the creature. After several nights of searching, the team finally captures footage of what appears to be a large, black animal moving through the area. The footage is not clear enough to identify the creature, but it does support the eyewitness accounts and adds to the mystery surrounding the Beast of Exmoor.

As the investigation comes to a close, the team concludes that the Beast of Exmoor is likely a large, black cat such as a panther or leopard that has been released into the wild or escaped from captivity. While there is no definitive evidence of the creature's existence, the numerous eyewitness accounts and the footage captured by the team suggest that something is indeed roaming the moors of Exmoor, England.

Overall, the Monsterquest team's investigation of the Beast of Exmoor offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of cryptozoology and the search for mysterious creatures that may or may not exist. The team's use of advanced technology and expertise in wildlife studies adds to the intrigue of the investigation, and viewers are left wondering what other mysteries lie hidden in the world around us.
