Ozbow

can someone help?

i think we have both large ferals cats and few large cats roaming our lands. i have seen hugh feral cats shot in western NSW, to the size of a large fox. when held by the tail they hang almost four feet in length. of a size unthinkable for a cat. survival of the fittest and most adaptable is natures...
