An interesting pic and video yesterday of a Panther videoed by a prospector near Ballarat in Victoria.
To see and read the accompanying story,, just go to the Yahoo site and search "Black cat (Panther) near Ballarat.

the only thing for context of it's size is the grass around it . to me it looks like a cat . i have however seen other vids that came out not to long ago that DO lend some credibility to the panther myth . the best one i saw was the cat clawing a tree in the vid , and the Filmer shower how far up the tree the claw marks were, which was well over a meter . i have however seen some VERY large feral cats . after a few generations their fur turns into a tan/fawn color .
