Giant Cats

Posted at 9:23 pm MST to Current Events

There are reports of giant feral cats in Australia. Huge members of Felis domesticus growing into small leopards. I suppose that's what we have to expect when we bring small predators into an environment that is relatively predator-free.

I wonder if they are able to catch wallabies and such, the way regular cats sometimes catch bunnies. (I suspect the Australians might be happy if the gaint cats would only concentrate on catching rabbits.)

I wonder if there is anything in the Australian environment that will give them the nudge toward becoming sabertoothed kitties.
