The now famous big-black-cat of Canterbury has been spotted many times over the last five years, enough times in fact to warrant an official search. But nothing conclusive has ever been found.
The new photos appear to show a large ‘panther’ like animal walking along a deer track, before disappearing into the thick shrub.
The photos appeared in the local Canterbury hunting guide, but officials have asked to see the originals before they decide whether there needs to be another investigation.
CW thinks: It would be a shame if whatever this animal is, that it is just mindlessly hunted and shot for the sake of hunting, as it really ought to be capture alive. Because it’s probably nothing more than an privately own cat that has either escaped, or more than likely, been released into the wild when its owner couldn’t cope with it anymore.
Possible mystery Canterbury cat
Aug 26, 2006A Canterbury hunting guide has released new photo’s of what he claims could be the legendary mysterious panther.
It is the latest siting of the large cat like creature that has apparently been haunting the Canterbury foothills over the past few years.
It has been suggested that the large cat-like creature looks just like a North American cougar or mountain lion.

I think your site is great! Keep up the good work!
Instead of Mongolia, why dont you head down south and trap that wildcat?
If it is coming from an interdimensional portal as in:
The Skin walker ranch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinwalker_Ranch
then it could be impervious to bullets.
Good luck!
