RPWC 2nd October 2019 19:43

Having done some searching, that appears to be a lion print.

Should be easy to spot, it has odd sized feet :eek:

According to folklore, the 'Bungay Black Dog' prowls along dark lanes and lonesome field footpaths of The Suffolk Coast, where, although his howling makes the hearer's blood run cold, his footfalls make no sound. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter him it is said that you will soon be extremely ill-fated!

Is this one lonesome enough! The footprints were leading out of a field at the bottom end of the lane.

NB Meg is not black shuck!

I have received a reply from Banham zoo, they are saying the print was made by a very large dog.

I shall be keeping eyes open for him or her!!!

We have one round the north east/Tynedale area, although it hasn’t been spotted for quite some time now. There was a time when it was spotted fairly frequently, it was rumoured to be a black panther like creature, the size of a large dog, but longer with a long tail that curled up slightly at the tip.
I have never seen it myself, but a friend saw it a couple of years back around 7am in daylight, on his way to work, just glimpsed it disappearing through a gap in the hedge.. About 20 odd years ago, I went out one winter with another mate, to take some photos, out in the sticks, and we came across some large prints in the deep snow out on the moors. John stopped to have a chat with another bloke who was out shooting, and he had seen the prints too, but not what had made them. A short while later John spotted the animal bounding along a hedgerow about 1 field distance away,.
I missed it, as by the time I turned round to look, it had gone behind the hedge. It turned out to be a cougar or mountain lion.

Ah well you should have sent the photo to Edinburgh Zoo. It is obviously the footprints of the Machillier Haggis. You see the right legs are smaller than the left to aid walking round the steep hills and mountains of its natural habitat.

I think they are wrong. Seems clear to me that there are two of them, a big one and a little one - which by implication suggests that they are breeding. :eek:

:smilie_re: Should be easy to spot given that they only appear to have one leg ... each. :D :getmecoat:

I don't think they have a leg to stand on.

Maybe Tolkien based his novel on them to some degree and tried to cover his tracks with a play on words ... The Hoppit? :D

RPWC 10th October 2019 07:49

According to the local weekly paper, the “Tynedale big cat”; I mentioned in an earlier post, has been spotted again recently.:eek:

trikey 10th October 2019 07:54
