Video of Australian Mystery Cat

Otway’s resident Connie Whistance claims she has proof big cats roam [the Australian] bush after catching remarkable footage of an unidentified animal from her hand-held video camera [on January 29, 2010].

Ms Whistance said she has been stalked by the creatures over the last two years, sighting them on numerous occasions on her property.

But January 29, 2010’s vision, taken near Binns Track on the edge of the Otway National Park, was the first hard evidence she had to prove to sceptics big cats were in fact prowling the region.
Ms Whistance said she watched the feline-like black animal wander around farmland about 500m from her home.

“It was there for a good 15 to 20 minutes,” Ms Whistance said.
“It looked down like it was eating something and eventually it went back into the swampland.”
Ms Whistance said she first spotted a big cat outside her home near Barongarook in April 2008, and was so paralysed by fear that she was eventually forced to move house.
Since then she said she has seen several panther-like creatures in various sizes and markings.
“(In 2008) the cat’s and dog’s behaviour had been erratic and they wouldn’t go outside. Then one night I pulled into my driveway and I thought an alien was looking at me,” Ms Whistance said.
“I didn’t know what to do, it had these big green eyes.”
The mystery of the big cat has baffled experts and residents in the region for years.
Despite hundreds of claimed sightings, the matter is often been fobbed off as myth.
In April 2009, a women told of a mystery big black cat issuing a screaming growl within 30m of her home at Kawarren, south of Colac.
In 2008, big cat researcher Simon Townsend blamed the death of 40 livestock in the region on roaming panthers.
Mr Townsend has since bought state-of-the-art camera equipment in a bid for elusive footage but the panthers have continued to dodge the cameras.
