Cryptozoology, Ghosts, Aliens and other mysteries

@smedz ah yes the big cats of the British countryside. They pop up in the news every now and then this side of the pond. I've always been skeptical of the assertion that there is some sort of breeding population that sustains itself out there. I do think however that there are some out there, likely escaped pets or zoo animals. In fact in 1980 in Scotland if I recall correctly, a mountain lion was found in the wild, identified to be an escaped pet. There are other similar cases like this including smaller wild, foreign cats. I think when people realise how much they have on their plate raising an exotic pet they'll irresponsibly simply let them go. Regarding the picture you sent it's very hard to deny that it at least looks like a melanistic leopard, its build disproportionate to that of a house cat. Looks convincing enough to me! Reply
