TOMO 26,902 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 well ,,I don't know about others sighting's. and I allways believed about hounds not being amongst one,and thought a load of bollocks etc..but,like iv'e said before on here, i have seen two ,with witnesses.so what did we see?? roe/muntjac..I can see these everyday without fail,, both sighting's being [ran straight across in front of us].one whilst driving [dalby hill Lincolnshire] and other on foot..not five hundred yards from were I live..so the argument rages eh..i know what iv'e seen and I'm not bothered about others views.. thanks.. I think you are bothered,,,,its the second time on this thread you have mentioned seeing them... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,902 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Anyone else ever seen wild wallabies in the UK? There was a small colony of them in Derbyshire (I think) that had escaped from a zoo. I saw them as a kid with Scouts. If that can happen I wouldn't be surprised the same thing could have happened with big cats. Theres some great footage of youtube showing wallabies all over the UK,crystal clear film leaving no boudt whatsoever they live,survive maybe even thrive in the UK,sadly no such irrefutable evidence of cats,any grainy long distance or shaky footage/pics is always a little ambiguous. any body ever go to whippsnade wildlife park,,,near luton,,,,,i was there quite regular a few years ago,,,,,,where you drive in there is just a barrier like on a car park,,,no cattle grid or anything,,loads of wallaby in there,,,,and i dare say loads round about,,,,i bet theres a few other bits and bobs local ,,possibly Mara as well.....incidently i know someone that has had a Mara with a dog ,,,,but somewhere else in the country Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 27,713 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Tigers and a snow leopard in Bhutan,no 5 grand cameras,no fancy tweaking of footage,just easily available cameras and footage viewed in the field,if cats are in the UK this is the proof that's beyond a shadow of a doubt. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=gordon+buchanan+tigers+in+bhutan+footage&view=detail&mid=7CF262F0CA6ED1A3B8F37CF262F0CA6ED1A3B8F3&FORM=VIRE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 29,146 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 This is the sort of proof positive that's irrefutable,we now know wallabies survive in the UK,footage taken I presume on a phone camera. ah the elusive wallaby yes, I can tell the difference between a cat and a fox mate on my cameras but out of hundreds of fox shots I get half may be good and usable were as if I had hundreds of pictures of cats I may be able to pic a few good ones out, I think the wallaby actually looked like a dog in a suit and how many people would want to be that close to a leopardr how many leopards would come that close to a human it's starting to go a bit silly again now so I,ll just wait for the socks verdict as will everyone else have to cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
