There is a relatively new fad of hybrid house cats that are huge. Larger than most dogs.

[crosdaddy]

Looks like a Panther to me.

Looks like a young mountain lion, out hunting mice in the grass.

[Flick Lives]

Mountain lion?

[MayflowerMadam]

The shape of its head seems panther-like.

[Hot Tabasco]

Just a big black cat and not necessarily as big as they are claiming. Watch it pounce on probably a mouse.............

[right way right]

Looks like a Cougar. Mountain Lion. Long tail gives it away.

[doorgunner69]

From the small head and tail size, it looks to be a mountain lion type cat. Dunno how similar that is to panthers and cougars?

[PAR35]

Certainly NOT a bobcat.

These are huge....

[doorgunner69]

Does not show tail length but proportions are about right.

[LouAvul]

Looks like a panther.

[Vaquero]

Nothing for scale.

Hmmmm . . . Revelation 6:7-8 tells of a coming time described as a milieu of horrible death in the period when the Black Horseman is unleashed on the earth. That prophetic period includes death by animals. Again, hmmmm.

7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” 8 I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.

The panther is like a leopard,
Except it hasn't been peppered.
Should you behold a panther crouch,
Prepare to say Ouch.
Better yet, if called by a panther,
Don't anther.

Words to live by.

Chupacabra?

Jackalope?

Baby Bigfoot?

(snicker...)

Wildlife officials have said that big cats like panthers or cougars have been extinct in Mississippi for 100 years ....

Yeah. Right.

The Iowa DNR used a similar line for years until enough dead cougars ended up on their doorsteps.

Not saying this is the case, but here in Missouri people were reporting mountain lions and bears long before the Conservation Commission admitted they were in the state. Bears were possibly migrants from Arkansas (we tend to blame Arkansas and Kansas for everything) and mountain lions were said to be overactive imaginations.

Anyway, a couple of years ago, a young woman in Jackson, MO (Southeast Missouri) hit and killed a bear with her car. Pretty hard to claim they’re not here after that.

[Mashood]

Looks like a Carolina Panther.

Wildlife officials have said that big cats like panthers or cougars have been extinct in Mississippi for 100 years due to habitat changes and hunting

'Wildlife Officials' in our area say the same thing.

15 or so years ago, Mrs BN saw a mountain lion on our 'driveway', a one mile dirt logging trail through the forest.
