What always strikes me as odd , is the fact that big cats are extremely secretive and hard to spot in their natural surroundings . I've been fortunate in my life and have lived where a number of big cat species occur . I've seen a number of Cougars , a Leopard, a Tiger and a Jaguar (singular) in the wild , along with other smaller species. The thing is , it took a lot of effort while out with very experienced people to catch a glimpse of all of the above . The odd part is that , according to these reports , they are so easy to spot in areas where they don't exist . I'm sure that there is an odd escapee every now and then , but it does get silly sometimes.

Perhaps , they weren't around at the moment , or in a place you'd least expect . It's like Sasquatch . For years , I walked in places where humans never go , some of the most remote places on Earth , not one Sasquatch . Then one day , there it was . Huge , hairy and indomitable . Her name was Helen and she ran a bar in Ft. MacMurray . She was amazing , I did worry that she might inadvertently kill me at times , but it was worth it .

you'd think in this day n age of thermal & NV .....and laterally with a good few years worth of trail cams that there would be definitive photos in UK by now

we are relatively speaking such a small island with many folks in most corners of it .... but nada ...blurry wtf is that type pics

95% of me goes by logic there cant be as tech we have as said above and still nothing concrete

5% of me does wonder ...reading how secretive these animals are reported to be and i wonder if how many of stories you hear of odd keeper bowling something rumoured to be big cat over and burying the bu55er ... lets face it.. if you did shoot summit like that would you plaster it all over knowing you might lose your certs?. would it come under Any Other Lawful Quarry ?

Neither , strange things done under a midnight Sun and all that . The back hair was disconcerting at first , but you get used to it .

The world is a far more interesting if the possibility that they are there exists . I'd rather live in a world where they might be around , than one where they have been proven not to .

I remember one,it was like a merkin made from ripping the back off a black cocker.

I just noticed that some people have claimed to have seen a Thylacoleo ! Well, if you're going to go , go big . Sorry UK , an extinct marsupial Lion beats a big black cat . Well done Australia .

And isn’t it amazing with the technology about how the photographs are always out of focus or to grainy to actually tell what it is.
