ÿþthat they  do in Fairfield County, Connecticut, or Westchester County, New York, they would appear to have colonized under four square miles. If they achieve only the normal habitat density for most of their U.S. kin, they may affect 40 square miles, which if evenly distributed from their escape point would be a radius of about seven miles. The slow and limited spread of a species in which contagious disease spreads at about 50 miles per year in the U.S. suggests that the feral German immigrants actually have only a tenuous hold on survival. England and France have even had homegrown cases of classic PU M A PA N I C.
Sightings of the British "Beast of Bodmin Moor" apparently ceased after the skull of an Indian black panther was found near where a big cat apparently slew numerous sheep over the past several years. However, the apparent presence of a puma who mauled both a heifer and a dog in the Foret de Chize, France, in mid-May obliged the Prefecture des Deux-Svres to close the 13,000-acre forest to foot traffic. There is a zoo of about 600 animals in nearby Villiers-en-Bois, but no zoo cats have been reported missing.
