    eek Lion spotted in Taranaki!

    Only last night I was explaining to certain fellow KB'ers about the wild lions of Taranaki, and of course, they didn't believe me. Well blow me down, if I only just escaped being eaten by one today as I pottered in the garden. Luckily I had my trusty "box brownee" camera with me, so I just managed to get a shot before I ran for my life to the safety of the house.

    This fearsome, and so far, elusive beast, was spotted in Urenui, North Taranaki at 2pm today. I was wondering if anyone else has heard of similar sightings?

    Maybe now, those certain doubting KB'ers will eat their words....

    I never doubted 'The Urenui beast', many panicked pig hunters and farmers have taken refuge at my Urenui sheep station because of it. They have told me spine tingling tales of horrifying trips in to the bush and produced irrefutable proof of the beast.

    Some earnest and dedicated people are trying to collate all the evidence in a scientific way and send it to Whangamomona university for analysis. I think your evidential photo is probably the best most authentic shot I've seen of the 'Taranaki lions'. If you can assure me that this shot is not photoshopped or tampered with in any way, would you please send it to www.fluffytoystuckinmybush.co.NZ for their appraisal.

    In the mean time here is all the evidence we have collected to date for you to peruse, a footprint and a close up of the beast though personally I think the close up is a crude fake.

    The evidence seems to be mounting by the day - only a complete sceptic could doubt the Lion's existence - I'll set a few "photo traps" to see if I can get a better snap

    Luckily your sheep station has such an active and dedicated guard dog.

    We spotted the Urinalnui Lion 15 minutes into the ride home today...was a 'well I'll be dipped in shit' moment as we rounded a left hander to see this sitting in the middle of the road. And it was wearing Pukeko boots! Until then, this mythical she beast and the legend that surrounded it, was put down to a few to many single malts during the darkened hours..

    As it so happened, I had the camera at the ready (as you do)..

    I'm glad you guys aren't as sceptical as you were . Even if you still poo poo all the irrefutable evidence gathered in this thread, you would still be wise to heed my words and develop a strategy for dealing with random lion attacks guys , one day it may happen and I shall just laugh in the general direction of your know it all carcases.

    By the way, leave the killer dog out of it, she actually moved Today
    Oh bugger

    Personally lads, I would be more concerned about the cougars in NP.

    They are dangerous.

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
