Back on 1200 cals doing the Shannan Ponton Challenge... oh the joys.. can't say I am being super strict with it, nor am I doing the exercise as prescribed, simply due to a lack of time! I am hoping being back at work will make it easier to manage to the intake, but only time will tell. Have lost 1.1kg this week, meaning I need to lose another 700g to get back to where I was pre holidays! I didn't gain wait on holidays.... that happened when I got home!
I am currently reading a book I borrowed off my good friend about the Panther/Big cat myth/truth in australia. It poses some interesting reading and I think is well balanced. Where scientific evidence has shown that some of theses animals are in fact freakishly large feral cats of the domestic variety, they clearly state it. It does however, have me questioning the truth of the matter. I suspect that evolutionary pressure has probably caused feral cats to increase in size, but to the extent of being as large as a lion or puma? I am not so sure! Given the minimal amount of regulation regarding animal importation early in Australia's history(and a campaogn to enlgish up the country by introducing familar plants & anmals), I would guess that big cats have been introduced (either accidentally or deliberately) to the country. Whether they have flourished however, well, I don't think there will be a conclusive answer any time soon. The fact of the matter is, is that there is ALOT of undisturbed open country out there for determinedly reclusive animals to hide in. I dare say the question won't be answered until human expansion forces their paw & they are forced into more urban environments, where hiding is harder.
But thats just my two cents worth.. do I think there are exotic bog cats out there? well....
