Description

Did a 13 year old country boy find baby black panther cubs in the Australian bush? When Ben discovered three unidentified newborn creatures high up in a Willow Tree when he was a thirteen year old kid, the mystery would haunt him for the rest of his life. Ben, now a grown man with a family finally wants to go on an investigative journey and find out more about the mystery panther sightings which have been reported across Australia since the early 1800's. Ben will speak with experts, zoologists, witnesses, skeptics and historians to uncover some of the theories as to how these large cats may have come to be on our shores. The only species of cat meant to be in Australia is the introduced felis catus (house cat). So what are thousands of people seeing? And why have we yet to get any definitive proof? Regardless of what you believe you might just change your mind. Come on this wild ride with us you will truly be amazed.

Episode 8 - Cougar Country (Part 1)

2021/11/17

Ben follows the journey of the late David O'Reilly into the big cat phenomenon of Western Australia. David O'Reilly was the head journalist for The Australian newspaper branch in Perth back in the late 70's. On a slow news week David deviated from his normal interest of political affairs and decided he'd investigate some farmers claims in the small rural community of Cordering that Cougars had been killing their stock. This decision had David obsessing over the story for years to come and eventually went on to write what is now labelled a cult classic - Savage Shadow.
