Listen to the tape then answer the question below
Where must the puma have come from ?
Pumas are large , cat-like animals which are found in America .
When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London , they were not taken seriously .
However , as the evidence began to accumulate , experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate , for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar .
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw ' a large cat ' only five yards away from her .
It immediately ran away when she saw it , and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered .
The search proved difficult , for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening .
Wherever it went , it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits .
