Forgot to lock me doors, the panthers out again .... bloody media , wish they would leave me poor old pussy cat alone
 
its very facinating to find out that there really is a large black cat out there. very interesting. But a bit scary on the other hand. imagine walking threw the bush and seeing that huge bugga run past ya. Gives me the hebejeebees.
 
dom u really think its a real or u think its a gee up hey have never found it so im not really convinced it out there
 
i think its reall, not so much on the photo evidence but the paw prints convince me!!!!!

Pawprints can be faked. So can pictures.

i reckon its a large feral cat, some get pretty big, all the footage past and present has been hazy due to the poor camera and the amount of zoom used to film, my verdict, BIG feral cat .... still wouldnt mess with it
 
RE: Re: RE: Kenthurst Panther caught on tape!!!!!!!

Feral's don't get that big.

And the whole thing isn't restricted to Wets of Sydney/Blue mountains are even though thats where the majority of recent sightings have been made.

There's alot of evidence to suggest something simimlar in Victoria, i even talked to a sambar hunter who said he saw it, and the photos he had of a set of paw prints one of the print next to a 30-06 cartridge, and i'm REALLY sure that print was not made by a large feral, the biggest feral i've seen weighed in at 12kg, and that was a prime condition Tom, shot near Byron bay. He wasn't even close to the size of what's been sighted.

Just checked out a crypto zoology sight, the paw prints in plaster are 10cm by 7.5cm and apparently the hexperts believ it oxuld be a previously unknown specie of marsupial lion (thought extinct)

Oh, btw i think it's real

Yeh im with you erisKSC, The footage of the cat caught on tape by some people is amazing. Another Lot of people caught it on tape where you see a large black cat walking across a field. You could clearly see the large curved tail and the huge shoulder blades. I shearched the net but couldnt find the footage, if anyone has it or can get it please post it!!!!!!!!!

Now thats what I call A big Pussy! :lol:
 
RE: Re: RE: Kenthurst Panther caught on tape!!!!!!!

I hate cats so much! That cat looks chockers with endangered reptiles and mammals.
The rumours are that some US fighter pilots had a Black Panther or two as squadron mascots and the big cat sightings are the progeny of these Yankie f erals. I have heard guys from down Tumut way about a large cat thing in the mountains, some say it could be a thylacine. They were also on about Yowies, the Hairy Man or "red eye" but they were possibly on the herbs.

Shermy, I told you not to post pics of me outside of the porn sites we frequent, what were you thinking ......
 
RE: Re: RE: Kenthurst Panther caught on tape!!!!!!!

Almost right there, this is a link to an Aussie cryptozoology page, they are a bit crazy, but you have to be to look for animals that aren't meant to exist.
www.internetezy.com.au/~mj129/cat_attack_2003.html

But they theorise that it could be a remenant of the archaic marsupial lion (not thylacine) the period of time these sightings have been occuring for would mean that the Yanks release a breeding pair, coz they've been spotted since the 40's.

There was a Discovery channel crew out here earlier in the year compiling a doco on the subject, havn't seen it myself though.

I know of one hunter who has had first hand experience with these sightings, and i've heard of at least a dozen more who have seen or found sign of them.

I think it's very real, and only a matte rof time til something concrete is known, but anyone who's stalked a feral cat knows that they only get seen for a econd, then it's all tracking. Being one of the most highly evolved predators makes for a sneaky and discrete creature.
Someone might shoot one, i know there's plenty of people trying, but i guess when they do NPWS will charge them with harming an endagered animal.

I have a Russian Blue that looks exactly like a small panther. He is a big boy and i can tell you we dont gey many stray cats walking in our garden...

Cheers Alex
 
RE: Re: RE: Kenthurst Panther caught on tape!!!!!!!

I just did a search on Cryptozoology on www.dogpile.com
That was an interesting read for sure..particularly the first two hits.
I have always had a fascination with yowies after feeling a strange presence in the bush one night that scared a Koori bloke who was with us as well..woo-ooo-ooo-ooo!!!!!!!!!!
