Wild Wednesday … Pretty Crazy In Pink?

Posted on October 7, 2015 by foresterartist

I see a lot of strange things in the woods, but one day this summer I saw a creature out there that I had never seen before. It was a cat, but not a mountain lion or bobcat and it was pink. I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right, it was the “Pink Panther.”

The Pink Panther up a tree. In case you don’t believe me, here is photographic evidence.

Yep, the Pink Panther was spotted by yours truly along Highway 3 on the west side of Trinity Lake. I don’t make these things up folks. There he was up a tall Ponderosa pine tree, way up!

If you look hard you can see him in the pine on the right side of the road.

He was about forty feet up the tree. I don’t know what he was doing up there. I don’t know how he got up there. He wouldn’t come down and he wouldn’t talk to me. So I took his picture and left him to his business.

I went by a few weeks later and he was gone. Keep and eye out, he may be coming to a tree near you!

Quite the event. Perhaps a bear chased him up the tree!

  Hmmm….could be, but I didn’t see any bears around. It must have scared him pretty bad. 😉

        That is probably why the panther is up the tree!

It could belong to the same gang as a tiger I met once in the middle of the forest in Poland. I’ve been driving a car and suddenly I’ve had to stop in the middle of the forest road, because of the strange animal crossing it. I saved it’s life, slowly getting coscious I spotted a mniature tiger. It was a tiger toy. It seems to be interational plot of addicted-to-risk toys, and they endanger their plush lives without any reason or purpose, just for fun 😉

What a great idea! If I could only manage to get myself 40 feet up a tree, I would put Teddy Rosalie on a branch and take photos of her. But then, of course, I’d have to go back to take her down – so probably, that’s not gonna happen.

Hahaha. I bet there were some double takes on that road for a couple of days – or questions of sobriety. Just some cosmic fun, I suspect. I bet that he has had other adventures elsewhere.
