Black panthers (4 legged variety)

I believe this is probably what you saw. There are plenty of sightings in Alabama.

Just carry some catnip with you in the woods, use sparingly. Give you a few minutes to get a shot off.

I have seen them in Social Circle before. FYI these big cats have a radius of like a 80-90 miles if I am not mistaken.

So your telling me that your family knew where one was after they were completely eradicated and on top of that it was the first black one to ever exist at the same time. Seems like if they knew so much they would have realized the importance of there find. You may have taken a story told to amuse you to seriously. I could buy into seeing a mountain lion, but there were and are zero black ones ever documented. We can track, capture and get trail cam pics of the only jaguar on Arizona. If there were black mountain lions around there would be proof. Somebody would have shot, trapped, hit, photographed or found a dead one.


There are none period not just in Ga they do not exist.
Cougar coloring is plain (hence the Latin concolor) but can vary greatly between individuals and even between siblings. The coat is typically tawny, but ranges to silvery-grey or reddish, with lighter patches on the under body including the jaws, chin, and throat. Infants are spotted and born with blue eyes and rings on their tails;[35] juveniles are pale, and dark spots remain on their flanks.[33] Despite anecdotes to the contrary, all-black coloring (melanism) has never been documented in cougars.[44] The term "black panther" is used colloquially to refer to melanistic individuals of other species, particularly jaguars and leopards

So how do you explain the birth of a litter of BLUE great danes to a black female and a black sire? In genetics you can have throw backs, a color of size that existed somewhere back alont the blood lines. The great danes belonged to me brother and sister-in-law. Never say never.
