I doubt it's a classified species as the natives have said time and time again that it isn't a leopord of any sort, nor a lion, and that it's size is much larger than any lion or leopord they had ever seen, not to mention, it may be a creature scientists thought was extinct at one point and therefor they haven't bothered using it as a plausable answer, for example, the Marsupial Lion may have been simaler to this creature, it was bigger than the averge lion by a huge margin and since no one ever saw or photographed a live one (or even a fresh body for that matter) there's nothing to say that the markings weren't "grey" and "striped", it would also explain why the natives fear attack on them, because if the Marsupial Lion is still around it may not have adapted to people the way it's cousins did, it may still attack them, seeing them as prey, but that's only one possible answer, the truth is that alot of animals have been recorded as extinct and alot of them have recently been found alive, two shark species and one fish species in the last few years alone, if I'm not mistaken, I think there was a new mammel taken off the extinct list in the last ten years too... scientists also found recently a new type of crocodile, a full skeleton, in Thailand, so this could easily be a big cat species on the extinct list that no one is considering because... it's "extinct" but those are just my thoughts on it

I like your theory, I think it might be a subspecies of Tiger myself considering there have been recorded tiger with the grayish fur and black stripes
