who believes the big cats are here then.

[mackem 26,264]

No,I dont think its a mistake,there are no breeding populations of unknown mammals in the uk.

Edit..........Youedited the end of your post there Richard so my answer out of context

Edited September 29, 2008 by mackem

[mackem 26,264]

But I am more than happy to be proven wrong if your holding evidence

[Tallyho 181]

I personally dont think they are about untill i see one with my own eyes.

[richard25 0]

I have seen platterpus in the thames & i swear i saw a yeti in the forest of dean!

 

No mackem seriously to think there are no unknown/or unknown to uk shores species of animals in the UK is so closed minded. but thats how you see it fair play.

 

What about the Wallabies in the UK?

 

http://www.wildlifeuk.net/how-widespread-a...bies-t-356.html

 

Or the yellow scorpion colony in kent?

 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2002/may/12/r...kie.theobserver

 

Or the wild boar population soaring?

 

http://www.britishwildboar.org.uk/

 

These are all facts & none of these animals were here before albeit the boar were a long long time ago & thats not even thinking about the wild mammels &fish that frequently come to our shores like killer whales in scotland etc, so the way i see it is there is surely more to be discovered & it is just a matter of time & effort before we find anymore

[mackem 26,264]

Crystal clear footage of wallabies,wild boar,and yellow scorpions,lots of gin clear pics I have been to Nepla on several ocassions,never met anyone who had actually seen a yeti either

[mackem 26,264]

Your changing the goal-posts richard,no ones mentioning marine life Its Pumas we are on about,large labrador sized black cryptids,any clear pics or not?

[richard25 0]

No i was just adding a little side comment about the marine life , sorry mate

 

As to solid pics evidence etc, check out the wild boar link above there are loads of pictures & they are Crystal clear

 

& the wallabies

Check out the picture in the New forest above?

 

& i forgot to mention all the terrapins that have now colonized the UK,

 

 

Did you watch video links i posted with the big cat sightings? What did you all think? its a hard one & as usual its not clear but do have a look & tell me your thought?

[mackem 26,264]

So thats a no for the felids then?

[mackem 26,264]

Amur leopard richard,rarest big cat on the face of the planet,approx 40 left in the wild,very rarely seen,but plenty of pics online Good pics as well,no mistaking them is there?I have searched all of the big-cat UK sites,not one proof-positive pic

So thats a no for the felids then?

 

I know what can i say, i dont need to convince anyone & who knows, i dont care that much its just an interesting subject, but again like i said previously if you were a passionate big cat person & you found a colony of wild big cats would you tell anyone & risk future problems for them???? I personally think this might be the case for some people but again "who knows" its just fascinating to think of though & is it unreasonable & unprecidented in the UK for finding non native animals.... Difiniatly Not!

 

Mackem & All i would be interested to know your thoughts on the video links though?

 

Good luck

[mackem 26,264]

Richard,I am not closed-minded,far from it,I used to be fascinated by cryptozoology,subscribed to fortean times,had countless books,talked to natives in Malaysia about Orang Pendek,sherpas in nepal about yeti,Herdsmen in Ulaanbaatar about the mongolian death-worm,all the same as the UK cryptid mate,figments of the imagination,no proof whatsoever sadly,now I believe what I see with my own eyes amd not vicarious sightings from others

[mackem 26,264]

I even spent a night alone in a Philippino cemetery looking for a glimpse of a mananangal Thank f*ck I didnt bump into one

[mackem 26,264]

The child of an aswang Flies around at night feeding on human entrails which it rips from its still-living meal,like I said,thank f*ck I didnt bump into one,but I had protection

[Kay 3,709]

Theres reports in our free rag every other week about big cat sightings in the area & has been for years , as well as ufo's & yettis , its all go here in staffordshire

[richard25 0]

Mackem when you say you checked all the websites about uk big cats proof although there is no crystal clear fotage i think it would be fair to point out

 

Over the years there have been cats killed :-

 

1989 - In Shropshire a Jungle Cat was fatally injured in a road crash

 

1988 - In Devon a Leopard Cat was shot

 

1988 - In Hampshire a Swamp Cat was killed crossing a road

 

1987 - On the Isle of Wight a Leopard Cat was shot

 

and also several skulls & parts of skeletons found all around the UK some even residing now in the Natural history museum.

 

 

Oh & to the point about the Amur Leopard, Russia's Amur leopard and Japan's Iriomote cat have been dubbed "endangered" but they are currently considered subspecies of leopards & this leaves the Iberian lynx, or Spanish lynx, with the dubious honor of being the most engangered cat species on Earth & when they are finding new sub species like this all the time its even got to make you think and although we can find pictures of these cats if there were any in the UK they would then become the most rare & it would be even harder to get pictures???

 

Mackem just read your last post & fair play & i am the same, I dont believe until i see it but i just keep an open mind & think theres alot more to see in Mother natures garden than we will ever find.
