greg64 2,866 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Not sure how much value but anyway... Edited to add, I think the bottom one is maybe the best. It looks like there's a fallen branch or exposed tree root visible in both shots. The fox looks slightly further across it/further away but it does look like maybe a 'fox sized' cat? are the photos taken near a building ,they look like wheelie bins in the background Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that that (the cat ones at least) were photos taken of a paused video image on the guys laptop. The 'bins' maybe reflections on the screen. Not ideal obviously, and I'll confess that I asked him to do it as there was a bit of a clamour on here to get to see the thing, and the lads not the most technically minded.., it is what it is. For most on here it hasn't really added anything but fair play to Greyman for sticking them up anyway knowing that plenty would be waiting to shoot him down. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 26,900 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 would a cat the size of a puma eat half a roe in one go.....gen question to greyman and anybody else that knows about these things,,,how much is that 30lbs ? talking of which there was a dead roe on the road verge the other day,,,,just up the road from me,,,i was going to stop for it,,,but its a bit busy,,,,went by the next day,,,it had moved a few feet,,,and most of the back end had gone,,apart from some of one back leg,,,,but it was a fair bit of meat that had been eaten,,,i just think it was the local fox and badgers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 would a cat the size of a puma eat half a roe in one go.....gen question to greyman and anybody else that knows about these things,,,how much is that 30lbs ? Depends on the size of the cat. Here they can hit 100kg for the males and they'll eat a deer sized animal every two weeks, and feed on anything up to that size. They rarely scavenge and generally eat what they've hunted and killed. I saw a stripped out bobcat carcass, last night, while I was out with the dogs. It looks like it's been killed, and partially consumed by another cat. If it's still there when I walk the dogs, later, I'll snag a picture. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
