To be honest mate as you said what else could it be, my first thought when I saw it was it was taken in another country, but someone I no found the spot using google earth and it is in Yorkshire and I think if you were going to fake a picture there are loads more convincing ways of doing it, there is a web site called Vimeo that people put trail camera pics up on, a bloke on there called David Neil’s has been filming puma for over 20 years and has some cracking footage on there, yet despite spending 5 nights a week for 20 years in the mountains he has only ever had 5 fleeting glimpses of them in the flesh, he,s a good bloke and I,ve learnt a lot from his films worth checking out 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Was that the fossilised bones found in chad mackem? Machairodus kabir, was what I just googled, but it said they could have weighed up to 500 kg, which is still massive, and much bigger than any big cat of today Just seen kenya Edited April 18, 2019 by shaaark 1 Link to post Share on other sites
