The results of the analysis of tracks that were secured during the search for an alleged big cat near Kleinmachnow south of Berlin are eagerly awaited on Monday. These are faeces and hair samples, which are now being evaluated, like the spokeswoman for the community, Martina Bellack.
These should bring clear clarity as to whether the animal filmed by a young resident was a wild boar or perhaps a big cat.

The search began on Thursday following the witness’s video, which the police initially estimated showed a lioness.
The police searched for the predator with more than a hundred officers, using helicopters, thermal imaging cameras and tracking dogs. However, no reliable observations might be made during the 30-hour mission.
Search canceled
The mission was canceled on Friday followingnoon following experts analyzed the images and said that it was most likely not a lioness but a wild boar.
According to Mayor Michael Grubert (SPD) and the police, there was no evidence of a lioness. The authorities no longer saw any acute danger and lifted a warning.
Brandenburg’s Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU) had defended the large-scale police operation despite the high costs. “The safety of the population has top priority,” said Stübgen.
