Morten St George Theory

[-JKP-]

If you are talking about the pond critter with a single row of spots, it looks more like a salamander or lizard than a cat.

Yes, but I very much doubt that a salamander could have brought down the marsh deer that we see lying dead in water.

That's your story. And nothing more than a story. You don't know the relationships between these critters.

Plus the one I think you mean (the one that doesn't really look like a deer, that looks more like a dead golden-fleece-shaped critter than a deer, note the rounded bumps on the back) might not have anything at all to do with the salamander-like thingie.


For the record, some lizards are also spotted and some lizards CAN bring down prey many times their size with toxic bites. Also, some animals can be killed by the toxic fumes coming from ponds with fume vents and others seem to tolerate the toxins.


What kind of reasoning is this, Morten? Did you decide the salamander has to be a cat because it brought down a deer (that doesn't look like a deer)? Is that why you turned a non-cat into a cat? To fit your story?
