Robbusher 1,350 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I’d love to think that there r bigger felines than your average house cat running round our countryside I wouldn’t call anyone a liar But I think I’d have to see to believe or at least decent trailcam footage/pics 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EDDIE B 1,972 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Think there is a big difference between a Bengal, and a "big cat" lads. Think we need to keep things in perspective here. Personally, I think maybe anything less than a Lynx can be disregarded. I mean, something like a Serval, of a Bengal, fall well short, when it comes to the mysterious, and intriguing notion of there being big cats roaming the Brittish countryside. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree except a serval is still a fully wild cat we’re as a Bengal is a 2nd cross domestic hybrid which I think is what is in that video or something similar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, the whole idea of a large black cat roaming the countryside, killing sheep and deer, has a sense of intrigue and mystery surrounding it, where as, a Serval is just well, a Serval. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tillylamp 1,392 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 my friend had a cougar visit his back yard the other night so i took these pics of them to show you..... my boot in the pic, is, at the widest part, just under 5 inch and the paw print was easily 4 inch.... i said he should put camera up, he agreed but time will tell.....the two single prints weren't so clear as the wind had blown the top layer of snow into them losing there sharpness, (it was -20 making the snow dry and light) but the others weren't to bad i thought.... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
