I have removed this section for now, as I could find no references that support the idea of this name being seriously suggested.

[edit] The Name

Tyrenga is a new name proposed for the creature. It has been suggested it could be the offspring of an escaped black puma that may have mated with another large cat (probably a leopard) to produce a new breed that is much stronger and agile than a normal puma (Felis concolor) or panther (Panthera pardus). If so, it belongs to the genus Panthera. “Tyrenga” is the shortening of Panthera tyrannis englandia - “England’s Tyrant Cat“. This zoological name has been proposed to replace the more colourful “Beast Of Exmoor” which has always been implied to be a mythical big cat. But since the Tyrenga has been photographed at least twice, some claim its existence is no longer speculative.

A weird vandal keeps re-inserting this paragraph. It's bollocks as far as I can tell. The Singing Badger 21:38, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

I accidentaly edited the page while looking at the formating. My apologies.

[edit] Paranormal explanations

These are wildy far-fetched, totally speculative and use phrases such as "some people believe...". I am removing them. If there are citable sources stating this belief, then they could perhaps be included. Arthur Holland 12:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
