The one thing that says domestic to me is it’s tail but the guys occupation does add some weight to it ??
-
Do you no them ??
-
The lady took the picture because there were no people there and the animal was alone, also it has a body length of 4ft but a height of only 2ft, which would give it a body length of an Irish wolfhound and the height of a lab, so without a better picture you have to go with probability and as it’s in an area with a lot of cat activity and sightings and the animal is the exact size of a male leopard it’s more probable to be a cat than a 4ft long dog out on its own for a walk or that’s how I see it, I also think it does look like a black cat in the enlarged photo but hey it keeps me busy and may

Southern Spain mate, have a listen to episode 12 on the podcast, it’s been on the roof of his house in the bins and still no photo ??
-
Few signs of direct registry there mate were the back foot comes down on the hole left by the front foot, as you have a few lynx still over there it won’t be questioned, but obviously as they are not meant to be here no one looks or knows what to look for I found these in a gateway after a guy going to feed his horses saw a large sandy brown cat like animal come out the gateway and disappear opposite in an instant, he thought he saw a puma and the tracks add weight to his claim ?
-
I know of at least one black leopard roaming about over there as a guy on the podcast had one dumped near him a few years back and it hangs around his property ??

Mate sorry for not replying sooner have just walked through the door and checked in, I,m actually a bit lost for words at your kind gesture, I,m quite a stand alone type of person and find your offer quite touching thank you so very much,, if you are sure about this I would be over the moon with it and even if I don’t get a cat on it I see loads of nice stuff out that would be good to record thank you again

Mate both Dartmoor and exmoor zoos have had loads of encounters, there are staff from them zoos that are interviewed in the podcast who have seen cats outside of the zoos, keepers that look after the same animals everyday and certainly would not mistake them for anything else when they see them out, but if you live somewhere that never gets this much activity it’s easy to see why people don’t believe, as you say mate you live in the middle of a hot area spend all your spare time outdoors and have yet to have a clear unmistakable sighting, there is always going to be negatives even a Chrystal c

No that one is one of the better ones that have been genuine, the lady took one of our group to the spot to do the scaling, it was 4ft long and 2ft at the shoulder
-
I’m pretty sure more than one or two have been slotted over the years have heard accounts of one caught in a snare a black leopard shot by a farmer on Bodmin and a lad told me he had squeaked one in and shot a lynx in Scotland thinking it was a fox panicked and stuffed it down a badger sett and filled the hole, but who knows it’s just story’s ?
-
Had all that last time it came up, not much chance of one of them running around loose on the quantocks either, and the only reason to make that comparison is because the dog is a ringer for a black leopard ?
-
The picture was blown up when they got home it was barely visible when they took it just a black animal moving along the edge of cover, this is the spot the lady that took it pulled into this car park by the two posts in the foreground and the animal was running along the cover in front ?
-
One was in Dorset mate near blandford the other was near Tewkesbury which would be Gloucestershire Warwickshire border, both were black and I would guess one was male and one was female by the build of them as one was very solid and muscular the other much lighter in build, ?
-
One other little problem with any kind of camera is the close encounter is usually a fleeting glimpse as it crosses a road or jumps a gate the times you get to see them for longer is when they are far away and unaware of your presence, but in the first case you don’t have time to react and in the second you get a distant black blob, the picture that I put up at the very start of this is about as good as you get on an iPhone and it’s been zoomed in as far as possible, this picture has been scaled and the animal in it is the same size as a leopard would be ????
-
Yes mate does video and has a moderate zoom ?
-
Believe it or not I carry an iPad with me ?
-
The thing is and I’ve said it numerous times, I’ve seen what I seen and I can’t unsee it, so I want to no more and find out more which is what I have set out to do, I don’t need to convince anyone of what I have seen as it’s irelavant to me, through my search I’ve came in touch with many other people just like me, the biologist and host of the podcast rick minter has became a sort of coordinator to people like myself and through his sources and contacts we are getting things in place and slowly building a case and one of the three Cs clear pic, corpse or captured animal would cut a lot of the

Top work elchapo, ??

Described me to a tee there mate, a fanatic that has seen two cats in two different county’s and still don’t have a camera phone ???

Feck me I used bigger to get the cash machine out the wall ????

Here’s one from my morning walk ?
-
Well no hard evidence but this mornings wander has thrown up a dead fox and an interesting turd have taken the fox’s head and will see if it has any tooth marks in it when the meat is gone?
-
Just get yourself a small folding saw in your bag or pocket and cut what you need when you need it, I cut hazel thumb sticks regularly, if they have a nice Y on them I might cut it off when I finish for a catty fork or I often leave them in the pub car park at the end of my walk for someone else to use, have had a few nice ones from the vines the grow on trees as well get some good natural twists and interesting shapes in them ?

And I was just about to direct him to curry moor on the Somerset levels were willow hurdle making is still an on going business,

Ok if I must your boss and capitalists are the main beneficiary’s ,s with the backing and assistance of your elected government who are hoping to reap there rewards in increased tax revenue, which could work out if they were all means tested and had jobs to come to, however when you just open the door and say anyone who has something to hide or are running from there past are welcome and will be given free healthcare, free housing and a monthly pay packet from the state that’s worth more than a months work in your homeland, the clientele are not really going to be picked from the top of the tr
