this check found one almost dead on the side of the road and nursed it back to health. she's also got a pet rottweiler and they play together. probably not the US... maybe the US?

They are probably all grey by now, or dead.

I swear I saw a dead black panther on side of I-10 somewhere between the Blind River bridge and the Sorrento exit.

If I had to guess that’s some sort of cat with spots that’s melanistic.

I’ve seen one near the pearl river on the north shore, or something that looking very similar.

There are some black jaguars in Mexico and Central America. So what's your point?

Isn’t it just a jaguar or leopard with more melanin?

The black panther sightings are just mistaken identity.

Only jaguars have the black pigment gene. Not a panther which is a separate species.

I had one run in front of my car in north Louisiana. It was about 100 ft in distance. First thought was the experts said there were no black panthers in north America. Yeah, right.

Yep she’s a black cougar alright….
That is not a leopard or a Jaguar.
It’s a cougar.
Both of them.

I've got a black house cat that thinks she's a panther.

Your grammar sucks.

That is a jaguar. They can be black. Cougars, mountain lions, pumas, etc cannot be black. The above mentioned cats, minus jaguar, are the same animal.
