Australian Panther Sighting

A Maraylya, Australia, man reported an encounter with a large black feline:

"'It was just before nightfall on Wednesday, January 23,' Mr Illingworth said.
"'When I first saw it, it was 40 paces away. I was walking along with the wheelbarrow with my eyes down towards the ground watching for snakes. In my higher peripheral vision I saw a movement so I raised my gaze to see an enormous black cat coming towards me.'" ...
"'The most unforgettable thing was its tail, about a metre long, no noticeable taper and perhaps two inches in diameter,' he said."
