New footage of a big cat in the UK.

Kess73 · 2012-02-11 10:49:28

I see there is new footage of what appears to be a big cat in the UK. The footage is fairly clear and in daylight. There was even a fox in the same field at one point to give an idea of scale http://video.uk.msn.com/browse/news/week-in-video?VideoID=2gz3a1sj&PlayerSize=Small

Look at the tail, definitely a cat of some sort imo. Still quite hard to make out though.

Without any prior bias/knowledge I would've immediately said it was a bad video of a fox!

IMO the tail is held very differently to a dog. It does appear to be of some sort of large cat.

Looked like it was walking funny. Back of it hopping a bit.
