Oh yes the picture is a little misleading but the tail measured 60cm, that's longer than my cat in total haha.

I wonder how many of the 'out of place' big cat sightings around the world have a similar source of feral cats. That cat could easily be called a Puma or Panther by an uneducated witness or if seen on a poor quality video.

I have been involved in 1 freaky occurence at gnangara pine plantation. Used to take our bush bashers there to thrash, destroy and set on fire until we ran across some kind of cult meeting.

iv actually come across something similar.
weird as hell.

What was it? Are cult activities common in the pines? haha

I go there all the time for four wheel driving as I live pretty close, are serious????? What happened?

The most unusual thing I've seen out there is feral pig tracks.

Haha that's crazy. I go forbying (four-wheel driving / off-road driving - for the non-Aussies on this page ) out there all the time.



What were they doing?

Me and 3 mates had seperated from our main group of people with 4wds and were just smashing around in an old corolla killing it. We flew over a rise and there was this group of people in a costume reminiscent of a KKK uniform standing around a big fire all chanting some crap. We thought "right, this is a bit weird lets get out of here" so he chucked a Uie and managed to get us bogged in the sand on the side of the track. Of course then this entire group of people starts slowly walking towards us.... Could have been to help us but they were ****in weird! Everyone that wasnt driving got out and rocked it a bit and luckily enough we skidded on out, we all jumped back in and legged it the **** outta there. Don't remember seeing any cars either....Like they all walked there. Weird.

In the pines? What happened to you?

I think the pines needs its own thread lol, seems to be Western Australia's answer to Texas's "big thicket" lol
In regards to the cat in the video, even with generations upon generations of breeding, I find out doubtful that a feral cat could have a tail that by itself is longer than an entire domestic cat, I don't think the results of the testing that occurred were interpreted truthfully by the media in that video.

Man that's creepy.

Mental note - Don't go to the pines at night.

That's a great story Wandering, I bet you all found a bit of extra strength to rock yourself out of that sand.

Mate of mine working towards Karratha has seen big feral cats, size of Kelpies, said some off the WA old times tell stories of Tassie tigers, pumas and weird looking animals around work camp sites. Here in Victoria plenty of sighting in Gipsland, Halls Gap, Lancefield way, even lion, hyena sighting towards the Dandenongs  I've done some night tracking in those area, never seen anything, but a customer at work is a retired trapper in the Blue Mountains, said, lets just say that there are big kitties around, very big kitties. I keep asking my country customers about big cats, tassie tigers, they clam up and laugh it off as just big ferals.

Should probably set up game cameras there out of curiosity just to see what might be there. Would probably turn up nothing but no harm in trying I suppose.

That's not a bad idea. Probably catch alot of 4wding maybe some bodies being buried
