Lab 10,979 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Right I have just watched this over and over and it is not a fox if you look at the tail section between the 10 and 14 second mark you will clearly see that this is definitely not a fox ... Unless its a fox with the longest curviest tail in the world ......... Where your seeing a clear image of its tail beats me. In every clip it looks like a fox to me apart from the one where its running down the field back to the right and that looks super impossed. In every clip its a grainy image and in the clip going right its a crystal clear black image.??.. Surely if these guy are experts they would have found a footprint of some kind. The field actually isn't that big and yert they say "you can clearly see the size difference when both images are in the feild"................can they?? Lab if you get to the 10 second count on the film and freeze and play and freeze and play you will clearly see the shape and length of the tail ......... Looks like we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one mate. .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JR Yipp 111 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 fox or moggie or both. ive have spent my life working with wildlife, predominately foxes. the one moving right to left is a fox. the other im not 100% but is could be fox. i know the surrounding area, nearly all of the gamekeepers and nearly all of the farmers very well and im in the area (on the land) almost 365 days a year. there has been lots of talk over the last 15 years after several sightings along time ago even with the local hound pack. but no proof was ever put forward. there was no cat dna found on the carcasses collected form the surrounding area, in fact it was just fox, the place where the wallabies were killed is a small fenced in enclosure (not even an acre)surrounded by very suburban woodland that is full of foxes, badgers and feral cats. i have trapped foxes here for the owners which have know to of been killing the wallabies, they are normally mangie or poor examples. they have also had problems with badgers digging in under and the wallabies escaping.it also happens to be about 25 yards from the owners kitchen window. brave cat. two things really strike me about this video. first as a nature lover and with a fair knowledge of wild cats. if that was a video of one you would know it, they are massive, not a bit bigger or a bit different, massive. the other which seems to been overlooked by all you so called "hunting country folk" is that if you think that video was taken this time of year or indeed recently following on from recent events you are either drunk, stupid or very poor countrymen/women. im not sure if there are big cats out there as i have never seen one but what i can tell you is that this is not one of them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mexlad 189 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 In the comments section of the Sun's website we have this expert................................... "bigcatsightings 0 likes just so ppl in the uk are fully aware, that big cats are NOT DANGEROUS unless provoked or have cubs !!!, animals such as these will stay as far away from human activity as they can.....IF however anyone is confronted by a big cat they wil need to follow theses simple rules 1....DO NOT RUN AWAY (as with any cat its part of the hunt when chasing ) 2 ...STAY VERY STILL but make yourself look BIG 3....SHOUT AND MAKE AS MUCH NOISE AS POSSIBLE 4....If you are attacked after doing the above POKE the animal in its eyes HARD, OR pull its 2 front legs apart as far as they will go (this will kill the animal by ripping its heart open) Hopefully you will never need to perform number 4, but after the animal does go away YOU will need to keep a lookout at all times so it'll be best to make your way to where there are a lot of other people or at least to the nearest house as a safty measure For any other info regarding Big Cats and Sighting feel free to follow me on Twitter bigcatsightings"" ..............................I feel a lot safer knowing that there's people like this out there to offer help and advice!!!!!!! LOL!!!!! Pull its legs open! so whilst you have both hands holding its frount feet, its chewing your face off!!! PMSL I would pay ever penny I've ever earned to see that clueless bell end try and rip the heart out of a panther by pulling it's front legs apart!!! you couldn't make it up!!! :laugh: lol it would be worth it like Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MUDD 374 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm extremely sceptical about all this BIG CAT talk. Why is it the videos are always really far away which makes it debatable what type of animal your watching ? Why do they not take footprint casts or evidence of the footprints, as said ? Preban, why was there lads beating cover with hounds up and down the country, especially big woodlands/forests that cover a large area and not 1 person seeing a BIG CAT breaking from cover ???? Simple answer.. BULLSHIT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
just jack 998 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 What amuses me is that the top wildlife film makers can travel to any part of the world and film some of the rarest and most incredible difficult to find animals on the planet. Yet none of them have been able to track down a 6ft black cat living on a small highly populated island! The only footage that ever exists is blurred and distant. I would love to believe we have these cats living amongst us. But having spent over 30 years shooting, lamping, walking and working in the countryside, I've never seen one. maybe because its and the nat geo/bbc thought bollox to that, its a silly ole bint and simoman who has saw it/1 i'm a non believer, as i think there would alot better footage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
