Okay folks. Anyone with a high-powered rifle need to go after this dangerous predator.

No one has ever seen one.

Unless you’re talking about a black jaguar. They do exist.

I’ve got a 20 pound, all black male cat that looks like that from about 10-15 yards away. Or this is a black cougar from 100 yards away... There is no real frame of reference in that photo. Color me skeptical. Not black.

The panther was photographed with a smart phone

Wow! A panther can use the internet. Who knew?

Exactly.

Cougars, Catamounts, Pumas, none are black.

Jaguars can be.

Don’t really want either one around. If you think your cats a jerk, well, these guys are bigger ones. They don’t just lick your face, they bite it off.

I hope that panther likes his smart phone. Probably uses GPS to find prey.

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.

No one has ever seen one.

I have seen one. He crossed the road right in front of my car, near Yoakum Tx. ,back in the late 60s. There was a govt trapper trying to catch him as he had killed a lot of livestock in the area.

Unless you’re talking about a black jaguar. They do exist.

A black panther is the melanistic color variant of any big cat species. Black panthers in Asia and Africa are leopards (Panthera pardus), and those in the Americas are black jaguars (Panthera onca)

Of course, I saw a Black Panther, a Jaguar(Panthera onca).
