That’s too big for a house cat. Could be a bob cat. Idk…

ITA. Bobcats can be black (like the lynx in PA I posted about upthread).

This could be one of the most shocking courtroom videos I've ever seen. Three-time convicted felon Deobra Redden swan dives over the bench and attacks Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus. Before the attack, Redden's attorney asked the judge for probation. The judge responds, “I think it’s time he get a taste of something else.”Judge Holthus is okay, she hit her head in the attack. A marshal was injured trying to fight Redden off.

Jonathan, the world’s oldest living land animal, is now 191 years old.

He is believed to have been born c. 1832, based on the fact that he was fully mature (and hence at least 50 years old) when he was brought from the Seychelles to the island of St Helena in 1882.

His age is a conservative estimate, meaning he is probably even older than we think.

Jonathan is a Seychelles giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea hololissa) and has far surpassed his species’ average life expectancy of 150 years.
