Blue Mountain Panther and Gippsland Phantom Cat


These two cryptids are both large puma-like cats that dwell in Australia. The Blue Mountain Panther is in fact a localized form of the second beast that only dwells in the more mountainous regions of the continent. There is much evidence that these creatures exist, as their footprints and hair have been found in Australia for over a century. Even recently, a hunter shot a large cat in the range of the Gippsland Phantom Cat and cut off its tail. When DNA tested, the tail was a perfect match for a large feral cat of some sort. Authorities cannot prove that these creatures exist, but even they concede that it is more likely than not. These creatures are probably not native, but instead a small population of a creature such as a mountain lion or panther that was imported, escaped, and bred to form a small population.

  1. To say a small population is a case off burying head in the sand and saying you cannot see me .20 years ago i said to a DPI dogger how many reported sightings have you had in your area this year he checked his diary 80 i said ok i compare them with feral cats for every feral cat you see. You will see at least 10 foxes is that a fair comparison he said yes for sure ,so i said apply the same formula to these cats ,his eyebrows shot up eyes popped out mouth dropped open and he stared at me and said i had never thought about it like that .i just thought it was the same one being seen time and again but multiplying 80 x 10 =800 makes a lot more sense considering the size. Off the area.
