panther on the loose in Dulwich Wood?

[Tanza]

...well according to a report in the Daily Star.panther on loose in dulwich wood

[SimonM]

It's the cougars of West Dulwich that terrify me....B)

[PeckhamRose]

I refer to the lynx I saw at Nunhead Cemetery 'cept I can't find the thread on here now!

[DrDom]

Not this old chestnut!!!

I remember when it "attacked" a policeman in near by wells park. me and a mate went down to the woods to see if we could get a photo, but were taken aback by the warning of a killer rottweiler also on the loose.

[Jeremy]

"he was chased by a panther who tried to eat his puppy."

Don't you think that a "panther" would be able to catch with a man (with a puppy) fairly easily?

[Brendan]

Panthers are large ambush predators if one attacked a man he wouldn?t even notice until it was too late.

Lynx however hunt rats and rabbits and such much in the same way domestic cats do so a lynx may have gone for a puppy.

There?s a test on this later children.

Big Bad Wolf on the loose?

[ratty]

I am afraid this is true, well there is certainly some kind of wild big cat around. Had it in my garden once, about 4 years ago!

OOOEEERRRR

:-S

I've been putting steroids in Tiddles' din dins.

I'm not sure if a panther could survive in our climate for very long. They originate from the rainforest. One notable thing about them is their jaw strength. Apparently they can crush a man's skull with their bite.

Eh?? Are you serious? Given that you're not too far away from me, I find this a little worrying. Perhaps it lives in St Francis park and chews on squirrels and foxes?

[woofmarkthedog]

I worry more about the 500lb Gorilla that's in the room "apparently"

Still can't see it, Oh and the "monkey on my back" get that !

W**F

A freind of mine was apparently chased some years ago by a big cat in dulwich woods, when he told me at the time I laughed at him but apparently it's not beyond the realms of possibillity how very exciting!!

So what did the big cat in your garden look like? Did it look like a lynx?

More details on the "Beast of Sydenham Wood" in another news report. beast of sydenham wood

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I like the bit about he should have stood his ground and made eye contact so that the beast would back off....hell no, I would be running for my life too!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Let that be a lesson to all you runners. Its not healthy. Stay in the pub. No panthers in our pubs, the occasional flatulant dog, no panthers.

[jim_the_chin]

It's harsh to judge such an emotive and detailed account but these remind of the sort of 'spring-heeled jack' sightings of years past.

With all of the big-cat sightings over the UK in recent decades it strikes me as suprising that one has never been caught or hit by a car.

I saw a cougar with a pair of large puppies in Dulwich Park the other day. I believe this is quite common around here.

[northlondoner]

A friend of mine says he chased across the Rye by a rhino one night last week. It was probably only a unicorn.

Also, I just paid fifty pounds for eight legs of venison. Is that too dear?

Depends it they all came from the same indivdual animal.

[chairmanmo]

James, those cougars are everywhere. And the puppies get bigger every time.
