Benthejockey Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Be some people out lamping tonight just in case I bet! Lynx/puma/unicorn all come under AOLQ don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adge Cutler Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Looks like a tabby, moves like a tabby, the same size as a tabby, must be a tabby. Lynx have bob tails. Pumas have no rings on the tail. Panthers are Black, Tigers Striped Lions are at Longleat. Edited November 10, 2016 by Adge Cutler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Whereas I'm, like others, inclined to poo poo this, it must be said that at less than 25 yards I can tell the difference between a partridge and a pheasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix's rifle Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Should get him to take a picture of himself next to the hedge to see how tall it was. If it's a foot and a half its a tabby... could be 4 foot tall though Pfft, you have to live trap them If have thought a 308 would be sufficient? Smallest a 270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie&bezza Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 To me the way it's head looks and moves and the way it's body moves, it doesn't look like a domestic cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 i can honestly say , thats the only piece of footage that ive ever seen that looks like a real big cat.(except for real big cats obviously). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) i can honestly say , thats the only piece of footage that ive ever seen that looks like a real big cat.(except for real big cats obviously). Me too. It's proportionally more muscular too. And its movement, shape, colour and gait are all more typical of a leopard, but it's really small for a true leopard. it is no black leopard, lynx, tiger, sabretooth, mountain lion, bobcat, serval, caracal etc, but it's the only one that's genuinely got me intrigued Edited November 10, 2016 by chrisjpainter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I remain sceptical, this is somewhat negated by the distance involved - 70 feet - so we're not talking of some blurry furry 800 yards away as is usually the norm with these sightings.

Smallest a 270 No that's wrong there I'm afraid minimum unicorn calibre is 30mm cannon preferably with depleted uranium tipped bullets.

Adge Cutler Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I think that Film has been edited so as the early footage has been removed which would have confirmed it to be a large tabby Tom. imo. If it is other than a domestic cat it wouldn't be a " Big Cat" because none of them have similar markings and of the "Small Cats" what could it be. I think we would like it to be a big cat but its just a Domestic Tabby or Bengal out for a stroll. Great Alne isn't that big a place.... get the Warwickshire on to it, their dogs will soon track it down. Could just be a Bengal cat I think you should get a prize... that's what I think it is.
