Large cat with a bushy tail??

[Bushwhacker]

Not sure what to make of this video. Odd is the only way I can describe it so far. Something doesn't add up for me.

The comparison photo doesn't even look feline.

The footprint looks like a canid to me. Why do they need to estimate its size from the footprint/video footage, why not put a rule in the spot where the cat/dog/whatever walked past? looks like a fox with a blunt nose to me.

I also don't understand why the 18 high res photos are flicked through so quick.

I don't know what that is. It's a mess of an animal.

Can't get the video. Was it supposed to be a wildcat or summat else?

Personally, it just looks like a well developed farm cat to me. I've seen them with fist size heads and at a guess, twice as large as your average house moggy.

Not convinced about the scale... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx6CaZtUqWs

dunno what that is, weird looking for sure.

It's bloody odd. 'Shaved dog' entered my mind, but I really can't get my head round it. It doesn't look like anything.

its hard to say as there is nothing for a ref. it could just be a norm cat with out a marker for how high it is its no good. and the cam seems to me that it is close to the ground as the blades of grass are coming up in front of the cam. witch looking up would make anything seem bigger. and for the tree in the back for all i know that could be a rose bush in a garden some were.
if i had to call it i would need to say this is a fake.

Lol my old Ginger tom cat was bigger built than that, he looked like he was hooked on steroids.
Seriously looked like a cross between a tiger and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Nah! All the wrong shape and size. I think it's a fake and put up job, lots of stuff strung together for effect.

Exactly. It doesn't even move right.

Just wait till my pal gets his Maine coon.
Maybe we could train it to retrieve and carry an Action Man Toy, That would be even funnier than a BullMastiff in a Tina Turner wig.
