Hi Paul.Chambo

Thanks so much for posting that up its fantastic..

The part where they say

"Frank, 65, now believes the animal may be a new species of Big Cat unique to Britain. He said: "This is the best footage I've seen. This is a Big Cat, but a British Big Cat — a type peculiar to Britain, a hybrid between leopard and puma."


Everything in the article is great but that particular comment "unique to Britain" may be wrong .. because i believe in Oz we are dealing with the same one... i dont know that they are all small or all large here or in UK but there has been variations in sizes described & videod or photographed so who knows if there are variations in species or age to do with it? If im not wrong i think the variations in sizes have been both here & in UK

Either way its all pretty exciting news
And i couldnt agree more to them describing it as something that looks like a cross between a leopard & a puma, sounds pretty right actually.

But.. who knows really what we are dealing with...
Do you know if the DNA results have been completed that they were working on?

Thanks again, very much

Hi there Horserider
heres a few reports on the DNA not very conclusive I'm afraid

and a web site for the UK big cats

That is indeed a disappointing result isnt it

Thanks so much for following that up and sending me the links & the website , I shall start reading in that link, very useful thankyou

Just doesnt make sense all this does it, i mean people have seen them yet we cant get a saliva sample. I now spend alot of time in a hot spot for the sightings in Nth West of Sydney & in winter its around & about, going to do my best to detect anything & grab evidence if i see it - ive seen it once so hopefully again (the evidence that is) .. as for the cat itself i also seen it once & heard it numerous times so i know what to be looking out for i think .. fingers crossed

Hi there horserider

gotta love the one that says cats can grow to the size of a dog... so what about the sightings we get that are 3 times the size of a dog, how will they explain that? grrr annoying isnt it

People can be so narrow minded & skeptical. It annoys me so much.

Its like LISTEN TO WHAT IM SAYING, I DIDNT SEE A FRIKKEN OVERSIZED CAT YOU FEED WHISKERS TO!!

People are so thick lol

Till they see one themselves

hahahahaaa
