RossM 7,979 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Agree on the otter allegation, legs too short and not shaped right to be a feline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MATTI 34 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I agree with this being an otter, even at this decomposed state, feline whiskers would be visible in these close up photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 think dymented pictures pretty much solves it as a otter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 You will hear no more about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shroob 9 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 This is what angers me about the press, I'm no wildlife expert but even my first guess was otter. Instead of checking facts/evidence they print a ridiculous story of this being evidence of 'big cat'. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But we are talking the same family here. Could it be a big male Pine Marten. ? ive seen some very big pine martins Ive only ever seen one. There is none about here but my neighbour said he had seen one at the bottom of the road. I thought "bollocks" but a while later i saw it. The dog saw it as well and went after it but it was only metres away from the wood. I looked for ages for it but no chance of seeing it. God knows where it came from, i can only guess someone dumped it..? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
