Mysterious footprints spotted in the snow in Rhiwlas.     It wasn't that long ago that I read an article about farmers that had seen a large creature in the Beddgelert area and it had killed about a dozen sheep and it had even come back later to finish off the carcass,
A few years ago I was walking on the lower slopes of Siabod with a friend when we also noticed unusual animal footprints in the snow,  The snow was about a foot deep and nothing had walked on it other than this animal.   What we didn't do was to take photos of the footprints and we both regret that to this day.
DaveR and PenDragon both have taken photos of strange tracks above Penmaenmawr and posted them on here so who knows what is out there?

Tellytubby sent me this link after seeing my previous post.     Could there be something in all these sightings?

There seem to be regular sightings reported recently.     Perhaps there is something prowling about in the area

Re: Local Wildlife...Welsh mountain Zoo
« Reply #1732 on: February 11, 2021, 10:19:26 am »
This is the beautiful moment three abandoned seal pups were released back into the sea off North Wales.

The adorable seals washed-up on the coast during lockdown after becoming separated from their mother.
The trio were found by RSPCA officers two months ago and were taken to the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay to recover.

"Whilst the Zoo has remained closed, our keepers remain as busy as ever, providing care and support for these seals and our many other animals.”

During their surprise stay on land, the group were cared for by experts at the zoo despite the attraction facing some major financial and resource pressures due to the current lockdown restrictions.

All were aged under two months old when they arrived at the facility and were unable to feed themselves.

Initially underweight at around 13.5kg each, each left the zoo weighing between 41kg and 45kg.

To help get them reach that healthy weight, each of the seals were fed a diet which mainly consisted of fish soup by the RSPCA until weaned.

The Goats were getting nearer and nearer to Maesdu Golf Course but turned back and went home to the Abbey Road/  Church Walks area

After the baby being wedged in my gate I am hoping that it has gone somewhere safer. Your pictures show a large herd Hugo and by the volume of droppings they went past during the night. Hope they carry on going past!
