On this edition of Sasquatch Tracks, the team is joined by Texas-based researcher Mike Mayes and UK podcaster and researcher Rick Minter for a discussion about the unusual appearances of large cats in various places, along with the relationship between the big cat mystery and the study of Sasquatch.

A member of the North American Wood Ape Conservancy (NAWAC), Mike Mayes also runs the Texas Cryptid Hunter blog, and is author of the book Shadow Cats: The Black Panthers of North America. Rick Minter is host of the popular podcast Big Cat Conversation, whose work documenting big cat sightings in the U.K. has been featured in outlets like The Guardian and several others. In addition to the study of big cat sightings, Mike and Rick talk about the possible connections between their mutual interest, and the study of other purported mystery animals like Sasquatch on this special edition of the program.
