A Moreton Island resident has trapped an almost 7 kilogram feral cat which was found with a crow and a bandicoot in its stomach.
A Tangalooma Island Resort eco ranger and a Brisbane City Council officer dubbed the pest the "Tangalooma puma" after it was first sighted near island settlements in April.
The council said the name for the 6.8kg animal captured in July "really gained traction once the cat's enormous size became known".
BCC said the ranger spotted furry cat scats while taking children on a tour to learn about Aboriginal history on Moreton Island/Mulgumpin.
The resident set the trap after attending a BCC-run workshop on how to humanely capture the animal.
The council said the trap consisted of bird wings and a suspended CD above the physical constraint; cat urine and a rubber lined leghold trap.
A stomach contents analysis found the remains of a bandicoot (isoodon macrourus) in the cat's intestine and a crow or raven in its stomach, indicating it had consumed the two animals about 48 hours before it was captured.
Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service officers euthanased the feral cat in accordance with the Biosecurity Act 2014.
BCC said it continued to provide community engagement and "best practice feral cat trapping technique courses for the residents on Moreton Island/Mulgumpin to manage feral cat populations on council land".
The council has conducted surveys to identify pest plants on the island and is also running a cane toad project.
