What about the poor ole Yowie? Sighting of it have gone quiet. You think maybe the panthers could take out the Yowies? or Bigfoots, or whatever. We don't know whats moving around out there.

I still believe in the "Bunyip" from the weekend drives we went on as a child out on the Sth Gippsland Hwy -thru Bunyip--BooWhaaaa-ha ha haaaa........

Go to kangaroo island. You use to be able to buy cat. Skins there from feral cats. Some of them are huge.

I think it's time for your nap now Jaros

Do you remember the hobyahs , the old man used to freak me out with that story many years ago. They used to come creep creep creeping and little dog dingo did his best but got all his legs cut off cause he wouldn't stop barking.

MrsSilver has seen and heard the bunyip in two different places.

I used to shoot feral cats about 3/4 the size of a full grown Labrador.
And they ain.t a real nice thing to corner.
When I would line them up in the scope, I could not believe the size of them.
But that picture in the beginning would worry me.
The tail is to long for a feral moggy.
some thing is wrong.

If you caught 2 giant feral cats and kept them in captivity, would the offspring grow up to be regular size house cats or giants? I.e. Is it a case of a fish growing to accomodate it's bowl or will it outgrow it's bowl?

Any big cat behavioral experts on this forum?

Slow movements?
Slow blinking/no eye contact?
Slow steady movements?

Forget climbing a tree and be quicker than your detecting companion!

Woulda fought the beast until it was stone cold dead, then called the tribe to help bring it on in so they could cook the huge sucker and share the bounty ,... paint rock art of the feat, create new dances and work on strategies for if another terrible MooooOoo beast should ever show up again. 8)

The blackfella's were to busy inventing the stick to worry about a strange looking creature :8

And a lotta different ways they invented to use the stick too !
8) A stick ain't just a stick, as long as it ain't just any old stick ,.... cause even then, it could still be a fire stick.

i always got told as a young fella that the big cats (lion&pumas) from kryal castle were released around Creswick bush

Looks like a 3d archery target.
I don't know how they survived with just sticks, fabulous hunting skills which are to be admired that most can't comprehend.

I'm with the skeptics on this one, but agree with Doug that the feral cats can reach impressive proportions.

Here is a link to the story the photo comes from

I've never seen an animal that has been spotlighted or photographed facing front on at night whose eyes don't light up red or silver or yellow. In that pic there is no eye flash at all. Not buying that pic personally.
