Still Waters Posted October 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The sighting Wednesday of an enormous cat roaming a field in northern Mississippi has local residents on the lookout – and perhaps a bit on edge. David Sluder captured video footage of the cat from his vehicle while in a fast-food restaurant line in Hernando. In the footage Sluder posted to Facebook, he says, "Man, I'm 100 yards away from this cat right now. I don't know what kind of cat it is… but this thing is huge." http://www.grindtv.com/wildlife/mysterious-large-cat-mississippi-town-wondering-whats-midst/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplybill Posted October 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I wonder why no one measured the height of the grass to make a few calculations as to how tall the animal was? The animal control officer was there, and likely had a can of bear spray in her vehicle for protection. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted October 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Interesting. The size of the cat could be determined by measuring the height of the grass.I wonder if that will be done. It could settle the size of t he animal. This is called photogrammetry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogrammetry Edited October 14, 2017 by stereologist 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatgrimlife Posted December 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Considering I've heard a mountain lion's scream out in the wildness here in Arkansas, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a cougar in the video. It was, undoubtedly, the most terrifying thing I've ever heard. On 12/21/2017 at 0:52 AM, mortellementpanthera said: I’m curious as to how much this has changed since 2012.

You might be interested in this article, which states that the Arkansas Game & Fish Commision does believe there are cougars in Arkansas. http://katv.com/archive/game-and-fish-says-mountain-lions-are-in-arkansas-but-arent-breeding It should be noted that this is a new development (as in 2015). When I heard the mountain lion, it was during the time in which the AGFC still adamantly denied their presence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma officials also denied the presence of mountain lions in the state, up until pretty recently. They simply could not deny it any longer, due to several different pieces of photographic evidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
