However, I have my doubts about its size. The images have been taken at a considerable distance, and there is hardly anything to in the surroundings to compare the cat against.<\/p>\n<p>Also, some experts have spoken out, saying that the <acronym title=\"Alien Big Cat\">ABC<\/acronym> can\u2019t be a puma, because it\u2019s the wrong color. Love how that works: first there is no puma, because there\u2019s no hard evidence. Now there\u2019s evidence, but the cat\u2019s no puma, because the color\u2019s wrong!<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting fact is that Dutch authorities are studying the video made by Pantera, to make sure they\u2019re no fake.
