This still happens but people claim to see, or usually it is their uncle or something who saw, a Mountain Lion (around 50% of the time its a "black panther", more humorous). Usually crossing a road at dusk. In Alabama.

These stories are 100% false but if you listened to the populous you would think Alabama had a population density of mountain lions that is completely unseen anywhere else in the world. Not only that, but also some of these cats are black which is genetically impossible.

Rednecks love lying about seeing stuff when they are hunting though so it comes with the territory

There have been legit spottings in Kentucky and Tennessee, so it's not too far-fetched to think they're ranging into Alabama these days as well. I am skeptical of most sightings, but there are some that are likely legit.
