It wouldn't surprise me if there were a large enough population in the UK to be sustainable. I've been hearing stories about black leopard sightings since I was a kid, and geographically they are quite far apart.
These animals are pretty shy and mostly hunt at night. It was only recently that we managed to obtain footage of them hunting at night in an area of the world where they are fairly common.
