Whats your thoughts on these tracks??

[stuart f]

Hi folks, a chap who is a friend on facebook posted these pics today, he was asking if there had been any big cat sightings recently in the borders, as he saw these in his drive.

So could they be big cat tracks? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers Stuart.

the stride length looks to short to me if the paws were that size me and my wife have seen a black panther here in dumfries so who knows ????

it looks like melted human prints the pattern is wrong for fourlegged. It could be a two legged polar bear.

I am certain there are british big cats.

Not a lot of definition in your prints, can't see claw marks so maybe retracted, and they seem to be a lot bigger so ... maybe very large cat/beast?

This was about 9-10cm across, taken in the Cairngorms.

I am very sceptical, thats why i post the pics. Though the guy said he got up and there they were, and he does'nt come across as the pratical joker type.

So maybe someone taking the p*** out of him, for a laugh, who knows.

Cheers Stuart.

I remember reading something about human tracks in sunshine melting around the edges and becoming bigger. This led to human tracks being misidentified as yeti.
So I'm thinking 'I 'tink I saw a puddy cat'.

Probably some throwback from the 60s/70s in a pair of Clarks Wayfarer shoes.

This is carp compared to what? Threads about biscuits and zombies?

Back to the tracks, I'd say it's a child wearing some novelty slippers.

I'm thinking the same..If you look at the first photo, the snow has a "see through" edge to it around the car where it is thawing, in fact if you lifted the car away it would appear that a very much larger vehicle had been parked there. The close up photos of the tracks show a similar thawed edge. I'd guess fox, before the thaw set in.

From the photo's it looks like it walked around the car, in that case its a cat burglar....

I guess we'll never know what they are!, shame! Hopefully not a practical joke!
