“Black Leopard” Video Analyzed
Posted by: Loren Coleman on February 9th, 2012
A recent video of one of those mysterious Alien Big Cat, specifically a cryptid Black Leopard, taken in Stroud, UK, is analyzed:
The Sun mentioned that…
The film was taken by teaching assistant Coryn Memory close to the site of a recent spate of deer killings.
But it was not an isolated sighting. Coryn, 45, says she has seen the animal, described as a “slim, black leopard” in a valley outside Stroud, Gloucs, FIVE TIMES — before finally getting the evidence on film.
She said: “It was around for about 20 minutes and luckily I had my camera. It was probably 300 yards away and I don’t think it was aware I was there.
“It came in and out of the field and at one point seemed to be having a root around, probably for small animals.
Wildlife expert Frank Tunbridge’s felid cutout video is superimposed on the original.

Felis domesticus.
domestic cat.
That thing looks like a domestic cat, but runs like a canine.
Well, it’s clearly not Felis domesticus is it? What with it being 2 feet long, plus tail. It’s not a panther, of course, but it’s definitely much bigger than the domestic cat.
Love how you all just write that one off even though a wildlife expert and a University Professor have done a fairly thorough analysis of the video and compared the size with overlays of their cutout.
Well, it’s clearly not Felis domesticus is it? What with it being 2 feet long, plus tail- oh wait the largest domestic cat named by Guinness just 4 onths is more then 4 feat long.
Gah! hit the button too soon
Well, it’s clearly not Felis domesticus is it? What with it being 2 feet long, plus tail- oh wait the largest domestic cat named by Guinness just 4 months ago is more then 4 feet long.
These animals are real in Britain. I have seen one myself. The one in this video looks smaller. I saw one which was almost certainly a leopard or puma in terms of size. Fully grown adult with black fur. Incident occurred in 2006 near Reading, Berkshire, England. I got no response from the authorities after contacting them.
Ah, Koipond, so you’re saying that it’s a world record breaking domestic cat then 🙂
I don’t know if this a domestic cat or not, but I know big black cats are real. I have seen two myself. I didn’t even know that it was disputed as existing and considered a cryptid until I saw an episode of MonsterQuest about them a few years ago. If I had known I would have told more people about it when I saw them. Most people I know accept them as real like any other animal out here. It’s just something you don’t see a lot, but you know it’s there. You don’t see bobcats a lot either, but you know that they are there.
