Вставка

- The owner of a trail camera, installed in woodland near Ruthin to film deer and badgers, has sent us this video of what he believes could be a black panther.
Couldn’t see fk all
They have completed dna tests on fur recently found and they have confirmed there are black panthers in UK. Was in the metro paper today.
Watched the video twice and didn't see anything.
Centre Top slightly left, it passes behind the trees
You didn't miss anything ;-))...
It could’ve literally been anything black cat black dog who knows but these people love to get themselves at it
@@WCMT89 Still can't see anything
Me neither.
LOL! That was just somebody's little kitty out for their evening stroll.
In your head maybe. imagine believing a kitty can grow that big. These idiots.
I saw one on the isle of wight (sandown) when I climbed a chalet roof on holiday as a kid it was looking right at me, nobody believed me at the time until other sightings.
I live on the isle of wight, what was the rough date and location in sandown ?
@@mtb_man_sam187 rough guess on date but approx 33 years ago all I knew it as was sandown holiday park/camp just above and before the Wight cliffs it was still there 4 years ago but was for sale then and the clubhouse was looking derelict.
was driving through a country lane in the uk when faced with a black panther just staring directly at the headlights about 4ft tall. Quite a sight for sure. scary if not in a vehicle
No such thing as a panther. It was probably a melanistic leopard. They are around the same size as Labrador and black ones were often kept by idiotic exotic pet owners who then released them when it became illegal to own them without a license. Still I guess it’s good to have an apex predator again to keep deer numbers down since the government keeps refusing to bring back wolves and lynx due to fear of upsetting sheep farmers..
Although I’d say leopard and puma numbers aren’t large enough here to be having much of an impact. Deer are still breeding and spreading like wildfire in the majority of areas to the detriment of woodlands
@@theotheseaeagle was meant to say puma big cat which is a panther
Everyone's got that 1 story teller in their family that talks utter shit n it's obvious you're the 1 in yours 😂😂
@@thewanderingwolves90 JEALOUS? If you got out more and lived your life I'm sure you'd see plenty of unusual sightings including the cloth to wipe up your jealousy! But you wont see much sat on your lazy bum WATCHING THE WORLD GO BY! Have a nice day Warrior! The Jealous Keyboard Warrior
It's bigger than I expected fookin' ell
Fantastic camouflage couldn't see a bloody thing!
I saw a Bigfoot, goat sucker and a Mongolian Warpig, but no panther.
I just spent a minute of my life trying to see what everyone is talking about and I can't see a thing
I saw one in the middle of the road in egerton in Kent
I saw one in Kent too not far from Edenbridge, that was over 25 years ago. Plus traces of one, or the same a few miles away on a farm in Cowden
I’ve watched it over and over and can see anything?????????
It's right at the begining it's walking through the bush. I couldn't see it the first time I watched it. In the 1st section of the video to the left hand side upwards.about 5 seconds long.
Look at the top left part
@@margarethughes3763I slowed the footage right down and zoomed right in and there's no way you can determine exactly what that creature is or its size.
Well something's moving there, but could be anything.
@@margarethughes3763pinch and zoom the video to top left.
To me it’s cat like but could be a domestic cat
That's a regular normal cat.
Moggie. ive seen wild cats and big cat evidence in devon, the fens and north kent. i also have 3 moggies 2 of which are black. i live in woodland adjacent to scrub and farmland and have my moggies on trail cam. that footage is 100% domestic/feral moggie.
I missed the part with a black ‘panther’ ..
It’s in the top left corner at the start
Black Panther ? Black cat !
Having just watched this atleast 10x through - this is a domestic cat. End of discussion.
It's just a pet cat. A normal size pet cat.
I saw one from a motorway on the way to Leeds Castle in Gorse bushes., about 30 years ago...
Hard to tell how big that cat was as we don't know how big those trees are. If the one that the cat went behind was two foot across, and bearing in mind that it was closer to the camera than the cat, then that cat was not a Black Panther. Just a slightly larger domestic kitty out for a stroll in some woodland.
Has he really made this 3 minutes long for the first 2 seconds to be the important bit
People talk about these "big cats" like they are a completely separate species lol. The only large black cat the world is a leopard or jaguar, how come all these sightings are black? Not one single report of a spotted cat? Even though in the wild a black leopard or jaguar is extremely rare, yet they are common in Britain??
Interesting video but likely some good editing to remove this cat walking across the path. Some numbers; the average cat is 18 inches nose to body and an additional 12 inches of tail. This big tom cat clearly fits those proportions and may slightly exceed those averages. Not a black leopard or black jaguar. Btw, mountain lions are not black.
FYI, these 14 species of wild cats are documented to exhibit melanism; jaguars, leopards, servals, Geoffroy's cats, oncillas, Pampas cats, African golden cats, marbled cats, bobcats, guiñas, southern tiger cats, margays, jungle cats and Asian golden cats.
If it really was caught on camera, it definitely was not this particular camera because if you watch the video, you will begin to realise, at the very end of the video, that the video title was just a big fat lie!
its in the top left of the video at the start, you can see it through the trees, you cant see it after 0:10
i thought the title was a lie too
Looks like a big black cat, but not enough detail to positively identify it
It's in top left hand corner for one or two seconds.
Oh look it's Tiddles again. It doesn't even look big. Stop showing footage of random black moggies and trying to fool people into thinking it's a frigging panther or something.
I found one here in Oklahoma. I knew it was a panther because of that terrifying scream. I’m hoping to catch it on the trail cam.
Was it black? If so, it wasn't a panther. There is no such thing as a black panther. If it was a black wildcat, it would have been a black jaguar or a black leopard.
Where in Oklahoma? I saw one in Jennings.
Where is it?
@@stephei1082ate, a black panther is a black coated leopard or jaguar, the name just covers a wider array of species
@@stephei1082 I`ve seen three very large (over 150 pounds) coal black cats at very close range in Louisiana and in NW Louisiana and central Louisiana there are places with huge tracks everywhere even though sightings are typically rare. Sightings of other predators are rare here as well. There are wolves here and I`ve seen just one (dead). There are bobcats and foxes here and I`ve only seen them while traveling in cars. There are bears here. I`ve seen one. So I don`t care what you "experts" who never go into the wilderness think. Most people living here have seen them.
Ah yes, the infamous invisible North Wales Panther
Absolutely no one has commented on whether or not these panther-looking cats are endemic/invasive species in the British Isles. Something tells me they are neither “feral” domesticated cats nor a native species.
They are the offspring of pet big cat, many people had pet leopards and other big cats but there was a ban put on them if you didn't have a license so many people released theirs into the wild as this was legal until 10 years later. A circus went bust and did the same thing. So these are just the offspring of those cats, hence the Increase in sightings as the population grows. There are also supposedly some native lynx's left in Britain but we hunted then and all other native big predators to extinction as far as we know.
@@LedplimmyXD A farmer shot a European lynx in Norfolk in the 1990s. It was verified by the police, who saw the body. (They were looking for illegally shot birds of prey, and didn't mind the lynx in the freezer, because no crime had been committed.)
With the amount of sightings we'd know by now.. Livestock would turn up ripped to shreds, at this point all these videos are like those ghost videos capturing dust move, you've caught someones pet cat on cam.
They do, but it's also not like they hunt and kill daily, depending on animal size, which it's usually sheep as they are free to roam on large moorland, they might kill 1 every 1.5- 2 weeks, they also hide the kills too, and have a very large territory of roaming up to 100 miles, so the same one could be spotted in different locations and thought to be different ones, so one cat covering a 100 mile zone of land isn't going to leave that many bodies behind to be seen. Of course there are hoaxes and also people who think they've seen one but it's someone's large cat or dog, but there could be a hand full out there.
exactly. this whole british isles big cat sightings thing is just rubbish. all the vids and pictures are just house cats, dogs, or blurry messy images that cant be made out. you can literally search for big cat sightings anywhere else where they would normally be and the pictures and videos capture them just fine. people trying to tell me it just a coincidence that theres no a single pic or vid thats obviously a big cat. I dont doubt that maybe a few times someones exotic pet got out but the idea that its some regular thing is just bullocks.
I dunno if the brush was covering it but leopards tend to have quite a low hanging long two which I didn't actually see much of a tail? Could be a bobcat of some kind I'm not sure can't really tell how big it is, also if you haven't seen you should check the news apparently black fur on a barbed fence after a farmers sheep was killed recently just outside the forest of Dean and it was confirmed to be black panther fur (or black leopard specifically) so honestly I think some of these sightings are legit and may be from smugglers that have dumped them at some point from cubs
Key word is "apparently". A sound trail of evidence is required to give even slight credibility to these encounters. The possibility isn't being rejected, the quality and source of evidence usually wouldn't get you convicted, and when witness credibility is considered maybe for cult membership, but for biological accuracy??? Plenty of DNA evidence should be present, it's not that hard to find if leopards are about (although sightings by humans are harder).
The few apparently more credible reports (even most trail cam proof can be immediately dismissed) would suggest single digit, even one or 2 individuals MIGHT be wandering the British Isles. Plenty of pussycats though
It's the size of a domestic cat so thoughts instantly say... yes that's a puma 🙄
Large domesticated cat I think. Maybe Bengal or similar.
Black labradore
Firstly, there is no such thing as a black panther. If it is a black wildcat, it is either a leopard or a jaguar. Also, sometimes though rarely, it can be an ocelot or a serval.
Secondly, was it lying down? I didn't see anything in this video.
Stfu a panther just a nickname for a black wild cat…get out yo feelings
There is a black panther on U TUBE .It lives in a ladies flat.called LUNA .She takes it for walks in the country side with her rotwiler dog .It's has rounded ears .Blue eyes.Its a happy cat.
It's a leopard you can see it's spots if the look at the videos.Its black and lives on a flat.
It's at the beginning of the video.Top left.One or two seconds.Its black .
Is everyone taking the piss as there is nothing on the video just trees and leaves
Looks more like a puma
No cats.Just leafs and trees.
It looks like a smaller bobcat size animal. too far away to tell for sure what kind of CAT it was. Also a Large house cat, I have had several that weight was 19-20 lbs.
hol up I live in wales...
Edit: Thats just a regular house cat?
The infamous invisible panther, along with the invisible alien, ufo, and honest politician. I do believe in the wild cats in my uk, and aliens /ufos, politicians maybe not 😂
Nah, don't think so
Hardly definitive proof. 😐
The only people this enamored with predators in America are those share the same tiny patches of grass in concrete horrors
that is a cat
I couldn't see it
It's near the top if the screen, slightly left of centre. Travelling right to left between the distant trees. All over 6 seconds in!.
Come to my backyard and you can record all day. I have 3 black cats just in the yard all day catching rodents.
i love the of this video where the panther shows up
its in the top left of the video at the start, you can see it through the trees, you cant see it after 0:10
My mum saw one attack her sheep in a field and she set dog off and dog went missing and came back wi a bite mark so u can guess what happned
Saw the invisible onee
That was a bigfoot!!!
Interesting video. Definitely a large wild cat, but impossible to tell the species. At a glance it looks to be the size of a sub adult leopard.
Look up "Luna the leopard" on UA-cam its a russian women that owns a 2 year old tame leopard she has documented the whole experience. That female big cat is a lovely creature and now full grown she is surprisingly small.
Don't forget the black leopards in England were former pets.
Luna looks remarkably like alot of the big cat photos in England.
@@deliacolquhoun2845 Yes I have seen that leopard. Indeed they come in a range of sizes.
As a former biologist interested in the UK big cat phenomenon, I'm struck by how many sightings have been described as being too small for 'typical' leopards. It makes me wonder whether there might not be some kind of hybrid breeding out there ... but if so, what? The one I saw briefly though was definitely full-grown leopard size, because of the deer I also had in my field of view. I have no idea as to its identity though, whether it was a black leopard or a black jaguar, because it was too far away.
@@anotherfreediver3639 I saw a big panther like animal (leopard or jaguar type) near Reading, Berkshire in 2006. I am a nature photographer who has seen enough big cats in the wild, to not see a domestic cat and mistake it for a panther! There are definitely large cats roaming the UK. The big black cat is the most well known, but a family friend of mine saw what she called a 'skinny lioness' near Windsor, Berkshire. What she had seen was a cougar. She was so terrified by the encounter, that she has not set foot in that area alone again!
Since there is nothing for scale relevant to suggest it's a specific size merely indicates a wish to believe anything.
It's something dark moving in the understorey.
what are we looking at ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Trash cans as show in the video are a bit less than 3ft high. Also wild cats don't move that way but house cats do. This cat is less than 1/2 that height. Those kinds of wild cats are around 3 ft tall I'd say its an house cat.
Thats a normal cat 😂😂😂😂😂
I didn't see it , time does it appear 👍
Above temp reading on screen is a pile of what looks like branches, watch bushes above that
I'm failing to see a cat at all in this... Where am I meant to be looking?
Absolute bollocks why not show the 10 seconds before ?
Can't see no cat
I can't see a thing!!
Oh for pity's sake, please stop being so completely ridiculous. It was a pussycat.
Where's Wally? 😂
Blackness in the back of the woods doesn’t prove anything
Introduce the bloody panther already in the UK and be done with this!
WTF Nothing to see here, move along
Badger
I saw nothing
It’s a dog
Can’t see it a time stamp might help 👎🏿
Where the cat
What a load of CRAP..
????????
Moggy
bs
There's too many @ worrying sheep and lambs .🇬🇧🇬🇧🌹
😂
Where is the big cat? Didn't saw nothing just a black shadow on start. Might be anything smart that knows is a camera nearby but not a cat
(yawn)
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Not a sceptic but looks large domestic to me
