The Fens is a wet area in the east of England. There are large fields, farms and small villages. It's not the kind of place you usually find a wild tiger! In 1994, William Rooker thought he saw a large cat. It was larger than a normal cat and he thought it looked like a tiger. It was walking across a field, so he quickly took out his camera and filmed it. He wasn't the first person to see it but he was the first to film it. People called the animal the Fen Tiger. Other people say they saw the Fen Tiger. Joan Peacock found the footprint in the photo in her garden. 'My dog was barking in the night,' she said, 'and in the morning I found these footprints.' Many people in the Fens believe there is a Fen Tiger. Do you? Is it possible that there's a tiger living wild in England? In 1951, a British explorer, Eric Shipton, was climbing in the high mountains of the Himalayas, south of Mount Everest. There were several climbers and Sherpas with him. As they were walking through the snow, they saw a line of footprints. They followed the footprints for 500 metres. The footprints were 33 cm long, 20 cm wide and a few centimetres deep. They were much too big to be a bear's. The Sherpas said they knew the animal. They said it usually lived in the forests and didn't often come up into the snow. Their name for the animal was the Yeti, or the Wild Man of the Snows. Eric Shipton's photos of the footprints became famous around the world. People still come back from the Himalayas today with stories of seeing the Yeti. One person found some of its black hair!
