mystery big cat like animal on a Northumbrian moor

I managed to capture a few seconds of this mystery, big cat like animal whilst out walking on a remote Northumbrian moor. By looking at some of the features I estimate it to be 6 to 7 foot long, black and possibly feline, but definitely unknown to science. I would welcome any help in identifing this animal...

Anyone who saw this video and could not make reasonable scale of this cat I can understand but what should have tipped this off is that nobody is stupid enough to stand with a camera as a large predatory cat is coming their way. Again this is cute and it does show that some sightings could be explained away as optical illusions but it does not show that all these sightings can be seen as such. Far too many sightings for that to be the case. Plus non black cats would look large as well sometimes.

Hey please don't miss understand me , I thought your comments where particularly intellegent and resonable , ( in England we often use irony to express the opposite of a statement, maybe a bit of cultural difference) and didn't think you where flaming me, I was refering to some of the one word abusive comments made. If you read my comment you will see I think there are big cats in the UK, but this was meant to be light hearted. :)

People are rarely unbiased in their research. They are looking for what they expect and even sometimes when there is no evidence to support the belief or disbelief they will swear their opinion is definitive proof. The thing in common with both experts and most cryptozoological creature beliefs is that neither side can prove the other wrong many times. Sometimes things can not be explained. Why can't both sides just state that they don't know? Let us continue the unbiased search for answers.

@CaptainMarvel1982 Are you sure the internet is the right place for intellegent and rational debate. Personally I believe there are in all probability large cats living in the UK. People will always search out evidence that agrees with their world view and dismiss anything that disagrees with it. Some of the comments seem to reflect this (quite agressively at times), and show how even posibly reasonable people loose there sense of homour along with their critical thinking.

I will now stand back to be flamed somemore :S although there are some very nice people comment who enter the spirit of the thing.

Cheers, I took all the normal precautions, stayed up wind, made no sudden moves etc, and fortunately I survived the encounter.

SQUAK I'm just glad it had a collar and a bell, at least we know the big cat is domesticated SQUAK

This clip is 100% more honest than the rest of the Big-Cat footage on this site,the rest is fake,poor camerawork,out of focus,no scale etc,why cant all clips be as well focused as yours.

You've stimulated some discussion with this video and that's a good thing.

I can offer a story from the other perspective. My brother-in-law lives in a remote location and throws food scraps out for the foxes. One night he went out with some chicken scraps, shone his torch around and saw a pair of cats eyes. Thinking it was a stray he slowly approached it and threw scraps towards it while talking to it gently. When he was close enough he realised it was a big cat. Cue hasty retreat.

@calooom1 It was a fun video. Thanks for sharing it.

[CaptainMarvel1982]

This video on it's face is cute but let's not assume all people are so dense that every time they think they see a large black cat all they are really seeing is a small sweet little black domesticated pussy cat. How many black pussy cats does the UK have? They are all over the UK and are the only little domesticated cats seen and other pussy cats are not large? Caloom this is cute but in an attempt to solve this mystery you ultimately failed. I will chalk this up to a fun video and nothing more.

[CaptainMarvel1982]

@calooom1 Actually caloom the internet is a place where many people discuss and have intelligent and rational debate. There are a shit load of people on line and they can discuss many different things with many people that they can only meet online.

As far as your world view I have no problem with it but what you are trying to do is prove a shit load of eye witness accounts are all explained away with an optical illusion. If that were true this case would be closed. Nothing more said

[CaptainMarvel1982]

@calooom1 Are you really that dense? That was a flame? Nothing I said before was flaming you. It was simply comments to open you and anyone else to set aside your preconceived notions and give a fair minded look at all things unexplained. People think that all things are explained and therefore in their attempt at doing so they really do not solve a thing. What you did was cute and funny and I can laugh at that but if what you were doing was an attempt to discredit others it failed.

[CaptainMarvel1982]

@underterraingrunter Thank you for this. A very intelligent and perfect response to many narrow minded people who can not see this fact or all the other facts that this is as of yet an unsolved mystery. I do not know that there are large black cats in the UK but I also have seen nothing definitive to discredit eye witness accounts. If anything the videos of eye witnesses seems to point more in the direction of these cats existing.
