Peter,
 The feral animal control advisory staff of NSW DPI got lumbered with  
the job of handling "Big Cat" sightings some years back, when it was  
called NSW Agriculture. Every year or so there are supposed sightings  
of Black Panther, Puma, etc. About the only big cat that hasn't been  
supposedly seen is a Sabre-toothed Tiger. The author of the Primefact  
"Black Cat" Identification, Bill Atkinson, is the poor sod who drew  
the short straw and was designated as the "expert" . Bill has a very  
interesting file of photos and videos, some of which are quite  
convincing.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
