Het zal wel aan mij liggen, maar ik zie dus echt geen moer op die foto, laat staan een beest.
Ja, als iemand je eerst verteld heeft dat het een kat is wel, ja.quote:Op zaterdag 11 september 2004 08:16 schreef NorthernStar het volgende:

Met een beetje fantasie is er wel een kat in te zien.
Maar het is van een filmpje en daarop zal vast wel duidelijk worden dat er idd een zwart beest loopt. Zonder duidelijke referentie kun je alleen niks over de maat ervan zeggen. Blijft alleen de getuigenverklaring over dat het een grote kat was en beslist geen huiskat. Tja.
Het wordt tijd dat ze er eens eentje vangen.
Tsja.. hij denkt dat het een panter is, omdat het zo zwart is.. Hij denkt dat het een kat is.. Op deze film is nu helemaal niets te zien.. Zou van alles kunnen zijn.. een wild zwijn? een grote hond?quote:"But on this occasion I spotted something that looked like a big cat.
"My first instinct was that the creature was a panther because it was so black.

LUFKIN, Texas -- Local animal experts are having a hard time identifying a strange looking animal killed in Angelina County on Friday -- an animal that looks eerily similar to the as yet unidentified "Elmendorf Beast" killed near San Antonio earlier this year.
"What is that?" are the first words out of anyone's mouth when shown photos of the animal, according to Stacy Womack.
Womack -- who has more than 20 years experience working at Ellen Trout Zoo and for a local veterinarian -- said she's seen and handled a lot of different animals, but that she's never seen anything like this one.
"It's not a dog," she said. "I'd bet my lottery ticket on that."
The animal's blue-grey skin is almost hairless and appears to be covered with mange. A closer look at the animal's jaw line reveals a serious overbite and four huge canine teeth, and a long, rat-like tail curls behind the animal's emaciated frame.

enquote:C.R. Shilling, of the West Loop Animal Clinic in Lufkin said that after seeing pictures of the animal -- and stressing that his determination is "pure speculation" -- he believes the animal is probably a coyote. The animal likely suffers from demodex mange, he said, and possibly a secondary skin infection or even a congenital skin defect, as well.
"That's just a congenital defect," Shilling said when asked about the animal's unusual jaw configuration. "We'll even get dogs like that in here."
Shilling said that without seeing the animal itself, it's hard to make an exact determination of what the animal might be. The possibility of it being a dog/coyote mix would be "unusual, but possible," he said.
"It appears to be an extremely undernourished dog," Ellen Trout Zoo Director Gordon Henley said after being e-mailed several photos of the animal. "Wild animals don't typically wind up like that, but undernourished, neglected, domestic animals do."
After enlarging one of the photos and conferring with the zoo's veterinarian, Henley said he feels the animal's mangy, crusty skin could be a result of either neglect or living in the wild. Undernourishment or a congenital deformity could have caused the animal's gross overbite, he said.
"I think what we've got here is a poor, suffering, undernourished and possibly abused canid," Henley said. "Possibly a coyote, but more likely a dog."

A San Antonio Zoo mammal expert told WOAI-TV the animal is clearly a member of the canine family, and could possibly be a mix between a dog and a coyote. The expert also said the animal was clearly suffering from some sort of skin ailment, and may also have a congenital deformity of some sort.
nog even geduld dusquote:The station reported that tissue from the animal has been sent for DNA testing, and that it will be several more weeks before the tests are completed.

Een soort twee meter grote chimp?quote:'New' giant ape found in DR Congo
Scientists believe they have discovered a new group of giant apes in the jungles of central Africa.
The animals, with characteristics of both gorillas and chimpanzees, have been sighted in the north of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
According to local villagers, the apes are ferocious, and even capable of killing lions.
A report about the mysterious creatures is published in this week's edition of the UK magazine New Scientist.
If they are a new species of primate, it could be one of the most important wildlife discoveries in decades.
The discovery of these apes "reveals just how much we still have to learn about our closest living relatives," New Scientist says.
They stand up to two metres tall, the size of gorillas, and like gorillas, they nest on the ground, not in trees.
But they live hundreds of km away from any other known gorilla populations, and their diet is closer to that of chimpanzees.

Giant ape may be new speciesquote:In a report published in next Saturday's issue, the British weekly says the mysterious creatures have been seen in forests around the towns of Bondo and Bili, in the far north of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
From the rare eyewitness sightings, bone discoveries and a video recording, the animals have large, black faces, are up to two metres tall and weigh between 85 and 102 kilos.
That would put them in the size category of gorillas -- but the region lies 500 kilometres from the edges of the known habitats of the western and eastern species of gorilla.

Anecdotal evidence about the unusual apes dates back to photos taken by European hunters in 1898, when the region was the Belgian Congo.

MYSTERY ‘MINI-MONSTER’ WASHED UP
PARTON residents are baffled by what has been described as a “mini Loch Ness Monster” washed up on their beach.
Joan Singleton, from Firth View was strolling on the foreshore near to where Lowca Beck flows out to sea when she came upon the “monster”.
She alerted friends, saying she had never seen anything like it.
Jack Southam, skipper of the Whitehaven sea angling charterboat Riptide, said on seeing a photograph of it: “I have never seen anything like this in all my years at sea.”
Another Parton resident told The Whitehaven News: “It seems to have a seal’s body, the tail of a whale, fins on top and sides, but also claws and really sharp teeth.”
Do you have any clues what this peculiar beastie might be?

Big Cat Society calls for calm after big cat encounter in London
The British Big Cats Society set up 5 years ago to monitor and study exotic felines in Britain – called for ‘calm’ today; after a big cat encounter in south London left a man with minor injuries.
Anthony Holder, had ventured to the bottom of his garden during the early hours of yesterday morning, after hearing his own pet howling.
“All of a sudden I saw this big black thing pounce on to me and it knocked me flying! I just didn’t know where I was, and the next thing there was this black figure laying on my chest – it was growling and hissing at me and then it started scratching!”
Last Year, the British Big Cats Society released data from a fifteen month survey, The results, published on the BBCS website, www.britishbigcats.org, indicate that there is little doubt that big cats are roaming Britain.
Tjee, je laat je kat ff buiten heb je iets groots en zwarts om je nek hangen.........quote:"It was big - about five-and-half feet long and 3ft high. It pinned me to the ground and started growling. I grabbed it round by the throat area and spun around. I was just trying to get it off my chest as quickly as possible. I was struggling with it and, the next thing I knew, it was gone."
