shovel leaner 7,650 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 That is definitely a big cat and not a household moggy . But as to where it was filmed , who knows. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaff 3,622 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Looks good but as said was it really filmed in this country ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 27,043 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 When was it filmed,look at the foliage,if the footage has just come out why?Probably not the UK,someone needs to frame-by-frame and enlarge it though if it purports to be from the UK this will already have been done. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 27,043 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Footage came out 2 years ago supposedly filmed in Alcester Warwickshire,turned out to be a Bengal cat named Hiro though an expert on british big cats initially identified it as a leopard or jaguar UPDATE: REMARKABLE FOOTAGE OF GIANT WILD CAT PROWLING FIELD NEAR VILLAGE IN WARWICKSHIRE Big Cat expert Frank Tunbridge, 70, who has investigated wild animal sightings for 30 years, said: "From the size of this big cat, it looks like some kind of leopard. "It has an enormous tail and appears to be preparing to get into a crouching position, probably to pounce on a small mammal. "It is definitely a big cat, you can tell that from its body movement and the size of its tail. It could be jaguar but the colouring suggests it's a leopard hybrid of some kind. "This is one of the best close-up videos of a big cat I've seen in a long time. They are elusive and you rarely see them in the daylight. "Makers of wildlife documentaries spend a fortune, and often years trying to get footage of a leopard in the wild, so to film one in Britain is very rare. "These big cats are not dangerous, they keep out of human's way and I've never heard of any attacks." Edited January 30, 2019 by mackem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,819 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I,ve seen the footage before, but as with most other footage if you don’t put up scale size models etc to confirm the size the picture means nothing, the tail looks like the real deal as even a Bengal has a normal size tail and we don,t have Jaguars in the uk as they are to much of a specialist hunter and would stand out here a bit more, also never had a genuine spotty leopard as tomo likes to point out only black ones, there are quite a few big cat groups springing up on Facebook but though they get some pretty good footage no one scales it or does anything to confirm it’s genuine, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shaaark 10,884 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Definetely looks real to me. Dinosaurs were on noah's ark, yep that was definitely some type of big cat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,819 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 No one is an expert, frank is a 70 year old man who,s knowledge is quite extensive on most wildlife and he has had a over 30 years of studying sightings and evidence, Jonathan has submitted quite a few specimens that have been examined and confirmed in laboratory conditions, I have met most of the people involved over the years but we are all just enthusiastic amateurs, who have been brought together to pool information through a common interest, I personally would not be willing to speak with the media or go on film as it is very easy to edit and ridicule people plus I,m not really worried what others think as I need concrete proof for myself, there are some huge divisions within the people in England that are looking as I think everyone wants to be the one who says I told you so here is the proof, there has been some good footage stolen by certain people and groups in one part of the country that won’t speak with other groups, pretty standard for most minority self funded groups I suspect 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
