The guy spends the video walking along roadsides waving a tape measure yet when the black mog is pictured the tape is seemingly unavailable. Perhaps he dropped it and it broke when it hit one of those "massive " kerbstones . Seen from the wider perspectives shown in the video the critter can be sized not only by the kerb, white line, carriageway width and plants, but also the granite in the tarmac. It's not anything special. The gent in the vid saying it’s the first confirmed British leopard was stretching it a bit lol. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My amusement is the small missing fact that the cats they are tracking are either walking in snow or wearing a radio collar, but I do honestly believe if I was given a decent drone and a wage I could capture one in the uk within 6 months max and my amusement to the previous vid put up by kanny was the fact in the documentary that was shown on blaze, the head ranger from the Forest of Dean is on there telling of the first time they used a thermal imager to do the deer survey they picked up two cats, don’t take things personally Quote Link to post Share on other sites
