Remember what people said when little cameras showed up on mobile telephones? The notion was that with so many digital cameras out there on cellphones, there would be more chances to capture cryptids photograhically and visually, thus adding a new level of technology to the quest. Okay, for all those folks that wanted to have more cryptid photo images taken by cellphones, here, above, is what you get!

As I walked out the door I thought “hang on a minute”. It looked like a cat but it was a lot bigger. It was definitely a cat. It walked like one and had its big black tail in the air. I’ve heard stories before of people from Airsprung seeing it. It was really amazing and quite exciting. It’s not something you see every day.Matthew Finch

Finch was talking to the Wiltshire Times about the black panther he photographed at Trowbridge, United Kingdom, with his mobile phone on at 7:30 am, yesterday, Wednesday, March 21, 2007. He was shocked to see the animal in a field behind Airsprung Beds in Canal Road as he left for work. He watched it. He snapped a photo with his cell, saw it stalk off, and then called his girlfriend.

The media reported that Finch said “the black panther” was the size of a Labrador.

No disrespect for Mr. Finch, at all, but this breaking incident calls forth the inquiry: What can cryptozoology learn from cellphone photos of cryptids?

We have had blobsquatch photos. Now do we have blobpanthers? blobfelines? blobcats?
