they could be those black cats people see. I sort of meantioned something about a jaguar/mountain lion hybrid but i was very off. I was under the impression that the jaguar was just a different sub species in the puma line. But they are actually in the panther family. So any crossbreed is pretty unlikely.

Why don't people see spotted cats?

nobody sees spotted cats. that does't make any sense to mcfoogle!!!!!!

maybe there is a black puma or mountain lion
yeah thats it

Except for the fact a black mountain lion/puma has never been demonstrated to science.

i know
thats why it's a perfect theory for this forum

Splendid! At least it's not a dragon.

yeah
dragons are boring

They are, i was just saying there was an article on CNN about Jaguars being seen more and more in the US.

Maybe they're seeing the spotted jaguars along the southern US border, but there's a widespread phenomenon of folks reporting "black panthers" across the USA, and many other places for that matter. They're not reporting spotted cats, they're reporting black ones. Since a melanistic cougar has not yet been produced, I'm curious what the "black panthers" are that a fair number of people are seeing.

i remember seeing a video that was posted of a large cat, cougar sized that looked black that was taken in northern ontario,
it used to be on the ontario puma foundation site but i can't find it now
was definitely a big cat, not 100% if it was pure black but was dark,
there are cougars in ontario but are rare or rarely seen
i can imagine a black cougar would be even harder to spot
but then again i can imagine a leperchaun-unicorn-shark hybrid
so there ya go

Jaguars can not hybridise with pumas.
Jaguar is related to lions, tigers and leopards
Puma is related to the domestic house cat.


Jaguars have been known in the very south of Texas which is the very northern edge of their range.
