Got somthing there allright.An animal would maul the carcass to bits,not leave it relatively intact,and carrion birds wouldnt leave the head,eyes and paws nicely intact.Rib cage seems to be missing and the spinal meat looks cut out or chewed.Whatever it was it looks like a very surgical job.
Didnt JG post a pic of a shot Muntjac here awhile ago??

A Jaysus lads now your scaring me, bad enough Panthers but Alien Mutilations and satanic rituals:eek:

Does anyone else think that the animal in that video is just a black dog? It does not move like a cat to me, it looks like a dog walking and waging its tail from side to side as it does. Cats do not wag their tale unless angry.

Any "Fortean" posters on boards or cryptozoologists, they might be able to assist

They are just slightly overgrown house cats. My cat looks a little like one but she is not as big. They are usually striped cats though and very furry.

That just looks like a black dog to me and my wife who just now looked at the video.

Looks to me like its definately a big cat by the gait and walk of it, i presume its tail is to moving to balance it on the train track, thats why cats have long tails, for climbing and balance, its front shoulders are arched aswell and aligned with its head when it comes out of the bush to look around,dogs aren't as cautious, it doesnt have a long snout of a dog either. At the start of the video to the 18th second it goes into the bush for a piddle, its typical of how cats piddle too! To me its without doubt a cat!

I would have agreed and said it moved like a dog until it started walking on the track. Looks like a cat then

Would have to agree there. I thought it kind of 'trotted' like a dog until it hopped on the line.
