DNA Confirms There IS A Big Cat Roaming The British Countryside

I'm afraid I don't get the reference, but for what it's worth, he's one of two dragons.

But that's enough bookshelf stuff from me. There's actually already a thread called 'Photograph Your Bookshelf'.

The idea that out-of-place big cats are some kind of supernatural entity, whether Bastet or some other being, is the kind of thing that creeps into discussions of any cryptid eventually if that cryptid is said to inhabit areas where you'd think it would have been proven by now. For all I know, there are such things, but it's not a useful suggestion. It's the ultimate unfalsifiable hypothesis.

Could Schrodinger's Cat be in many places at one time? If the cat were to have been caught in between parallel worlds. Now caught in a loop, drifting from dimension to dimension. Appearing here, and there, a cryptid in the quantum realm of 16 dimensions. Or could every Cryptid be the result of this cross breeding of parallel world fields?
 
So Sharon Larkin-Snowden is back in the news:

Beast of Cumbria: 'Big cat and cub' spotted in Cumbrian countryside​


"The post read: "Exciting news! We have had a few reports of a large black cat and her cub. Both look well and healthy. We now know her whereabouts (lair) and are setting up many trail cams in the vicinity in hope of capturing footage of mum and cub."

Okay, so we have been here before as I remember a big cat researcher who assured us Eurasian Lynx were living and breeding in a Dorset quarry but then nothing in the way of evidence was forthcoming. Perhaps Sharon did indeed find Panthera DNA on that sheep carcass or perhaps it was an intentional or unintentional hoax but making bold claims such as knowing the location of a big cat's lair means that evidence will need to be forthcoming soonish or it will be just another claim and nothing else.

Me neither, sadly.

Purely because, if there were any kind of large cat and its offspring out there, then other people know about it and farmers with guns will likely remove the evidence.

So it may be a fabrication, or a misidentification. I still think there are Big Cats out there, but not panthers and lynxes, I think we might be misidentifying the result of interspecies cat breeding. There are so many versions of large house cat available now that we might not recognise, say, the unwanted offspring of a Maine Coon and Bengal...

Not so, at least with regards seeing a Lynx years ago.
