- Miss Kay couldn't wait to tell Jase Robertson that Phil had FINALLY seen a black panther. And Jase can't wait to ask Phil all about it. Phil is as shocked as anyone that he saw it and can't believe he is on Si's side on this particular legend now.

Jace can you please stop interrupting your father, Thankyou very much 🤦♀️😂
If Phil saw i! I believe it now! 😊
Jase is leading the witness. Needs to stop talking and let Phil give his testimony.
A few years ago I was commenting on jases yapping and others scolded me for it😊
Or is it a rare BLACK Cougar
Possibly a jaguarundi. I seen one in Many, Louisiana 2 years ago from a tree stand while deer hunting. I watched it for between 1 and 2 minutes until it walked out of sight.
That's great that you recognise the jaguarundi as a possible candidate. I have thought that about some cats in the UK. Would love to hear more.
I looked up the jaquarundi, and it looks exactly what Phil described.
Who knows for sure what he seen but I do know that what I seen was a jaguarundi. It seemed to be twice the size of a large tomcat but the body shape, tail and movements looked like a mountain lion.
I saw one about 3 years ago in Caddo Lake Refuge in Karnac TX. It was crossing the road. Sure wish I could of gotten a picture.
never seen a jaguarundi, but back in 89 I saw an ocelot west of Nacogdoches Tx run across the road in front of me .
I was driving down a gravel road in Wharton county Texas heading towards what we locals call Hollywood bottom. It was a popular place for families to picnic on the Colorado river before a woman was found murdered there. Hence it was a popular spot for us high school kids to go and drink in the early 90s. One day in my early twenties I was driving on that same road mid afternoon and looked in my rear view mirror and saw a huge black cat crossing the road. Huge swoop across it's back and long tail. I gauged its length by the gravel ruts and the grass between the middle of the road. It stretched from the left side of the road rut where it's front paws were and it's back paws were on the right ruts on the road. Huge! This is a heavily wooded area off of blue Creek road in EL Campo Texas.
Wow I'm from eagle lake Texas and we see it like every other summer close to Altair where the bridge is at the river with the rail road bridge is at we skipped rocks there all the time as a kid. I went to rice High School and we cancelled football practice a few times when our coaches seen it getting the javelenas
Care to share more?
@@saucedrippa8959 I'd like to hear more for a podcast.
I live in the mountains north of Chattanooga, and i have seen 2 black panthers. One was skinny and about the size he described, and the other was much larger.
I know for a fact they are real.
Oh my God, finally I can say I saw a black panther, without someone thinking I am crazy. I lived in Simmons Bayou in Port St Joe, fl. 24 yrs. ago, late one afternoon I took my dog outside I had a lot large old oak trees on my property, I looked up and there was a large black panther lying in the fork of the next to the garage, 😮 my first thought was to get my dog back inside, I did when I looked back out it was gone, I swear to God it was a black panther, If I die today it was.
Hi Beverley. I have a podcast talking about them. Would you care to come on the show?
No such thing as a black panther. There are black jaguars and leopards. There probably aren't any Panthers left in the panhandle either.
@@Steve-ev6vx You say no such thing as a black panther but then go on to say exactly what a black panther is. A black leopard or black jaguar is what a black panther is. A panther isn’t its own species yes. But to say there is no such thing is crazy when that is literally what they are 😂
@@Keebee225 No, they are black leopards and black jaguars. In the southeastern United states people are claiming to see black eastern cougars, that's what they mean when they say "blank panther" in this part of the world. A panther is an eastern cougar, it's the only big cat we have.
If Phil said it, my gpa saw them too. B- 1892.
There’s panthers all over Florida I’m sure there are some in Louisiana, some are darker than others some are blonde Some have black streaks in their hair I believe it no doubt
Thanks for blessing us with another great video
I’ve seen two in Arkansas in the last fifty years. One was about 10 miles east of El Dorado, AR, and the other was just south of Jasper, AR, right by the turnoff for Deer, AR.
They were both black. I’ve seen several brown and tan big cats.
Old Union AR
Don't want to spam the comment section, but interested in talking to people about this for my podcast.
As a fellow Arkansan, I can confirm black panthers in SE Arkansas. 1000%!
They are in west Kentucky several years ago 1 attacked my neighbors horse
They are black panthers I live in eastern ky in the mts everyone know they exist . It goes back even to my grandmothers day . I know the biologists say know but they also say flies don’t bite
They are in TN.
If jase would just be quiet and let Phil speak......
It's their way. Get used to it. They've always been that way. Not changing anytime soon. 😂
Our neighbor on our north side has a ranch hand that saw a black panther. US Fish and Wildlife documented the sighting. They are out there.
Panthers are brown. No one has ever produced a black panther, dead or alive. We have them in captivity, if they came in black we would have black ones born in zoos.
What you're seeing is a puma we have them here in north Alabama
I live in a State were our NFL team is called "The Panthers"... They are black jaguars from South America. From the front solid black. From behind you can see faint spots if the sun hits just right. They are all over the American South.... Even stories way north and west. Just rare to see. That's all
No, the cats in south America are black jaguars. The Panthers (they call them pumas) are brown down there too. The Carolina football team chose a mascot that doesn't exist.
@@Steve-ev6vx Your mother doesn't exist....
I’ve seen one in Central Eastern SD. Big Sucker too. Probably around 2013 Christmas time.
I live in Kentucky and have Hurd several stories like this one of witch was a close friend. He walked into a tobacco barn.And said there was a big back cat/panther that had a baby deer up in the in the rafters of the barn. Then I asked him did it have a tail and he said yes. I believe him 100%
Could have just been in the shadows. Panthers are brown. Only other possibility would be an escaped jaguar or leopard.
Love you brother Phil I believe you
Can’t wait to hear what Martin has to say about this 😂
Martin is scared they will eat his crappie...lol
Always crazy that they didn't call their father;dad or daddy, pops ,old man...... anything but his name lol
We lived in Cumberland County Illinois and for nights I would hear a sound that would make you think a woman's getting murdered, coming from our woods. Then, about a week later, my husband witnessed a black panther crossing the old dirt road, on our side of the creek! This was probably about 2003-4!! No one would believe us either! But I just read that the IDNR released a few of them during that same time line! Not crazy after all!!!!😂
Big cats definitely live in the woods no doubt. We think we see everything from the roads or at home but the big cats don’t want to be seen. They are masters of stealth and are one of the top animals on the food chain for a reason, they are also being pushed by us all around the country because we build roads and other infrastructure. It is inevitably that they would start hunting near us.
They released a cat that doesnt exist? I doubt it. Panthers are brown, there has never been a melanistic cougar recorded.
Seen a couple cougars in n central illinois
I heard the Panthers while living outside of Tallahassee Florida in Concord. Terrifying screams until I learn what it was.
Omg!!!!!! Those screams scared the crap out of me!!! They would cause my imagination to go crazy! Lol
I live in the Appalachian mountains and me myself I have never seen one. But my grandmother told me stories about one they had seen before
It’s America of course there’s panthers. You have all those tiger king twits there so of course there is. It’s the quiet ones you need to worry about. But have fun America the greatest country on earth lol.
So Cy isn't so crazy after all.
I believe it!
I saw one in north Florida in 1977 with my grandfather. 100 percent.
People will believe what they want, but about fifteen plus years ago. Now mind you here in northern part of Indiana we had panther sighting in the county. One on a lady's front porch at a child day care . It was up on her front porch. As well as other sightings! And there was some animals that were killed
Indiana IS historically within panther range, but they are brown. I am not sure where the term "black panther" even came from, but it seems like it has always been around.
Over on my Creation Cryptids channel I talk all about them. Of the opinion that we are dealing with endemic melanistic leopards. We have loads here in the UK!
Melanosis. Great point and highly likely imho. Ive wondered that myself. Curious if we’re seeing Melanistic leopards and mtn lions. Big 40-50lb+ black cats are out there in Arkansas no doubt about it.
@@501Bassin_SWarb science has never recorded a melanistic panther/cougar/mountain lion. Honestly I think most people are seeing black house cats and black dogs.
why not they used to be native in all the Americas ,, all wild cats seem to be making a come back the better food source the more a reality it becomes with our hunting regulation on deer elk what not we have seen a steady increase of all mentioned over the yrs ,, while southern Americas with no regulations and deforestation food has become scarce only makes sense the cats are moving north , personally i see it as a positive
Ive seen one 2:30 during the day, crossed the road 100 yards in front of me. Montpellier, Southeast Louisiana.
It’s a jacarundi we get them in Texas they come up from Mexico
Always as a kid wanted a black panther as a pet! 🤠
there is a couple in Russia that have a pet puma, its blondish color not black. they are on you-tube. its just like a big ole house cat. his name is Messi. they rescued him and take care of him in their home.
@@sherryjohnson2152 Cool! I always wanted to say, wanna see my kitty! 😂
My friend saw a black one in Alma, GA and another friend saw a black one with 3 kittens in Spruce pine, NC. I seen a mountain lion up here in Shelton laurel, NC from my window, and a Florida panther 30 feet away in Myakka, FL. years ago in my tree stand with my crossbow. When I walked back to the house in dark after getting out of the tree stand, with my rifle, I heard a very deep loud growl, shot a round in the air reloaded and stayed still for 10 minutes scared me to death.
We live in Oklahoma City we have them in the city coyotes tooo
I live in Georgia and me and two other people saw a huge black panther on a dirt road.
Would love to hear more!
I live in Georgia and I seen too different.Big black cats
There definitely are cats like they sound like a baby crying
Why do his son's never call him Dad? They call him Phil??? Smh
I live in OK, and there are a few boys I know out here that say they saw one too. These boys are not ones to tell tall tales, so I believe them.
I've seen 2 in my life in the south east of the usa.
My neighbors are bigtime farmers and they have seen them also.The local news did a report on them
That's amazing. Was that in Georgia or Florida?
Thank you Robertson family for taking the time out of your day to teach us the good news in computer land.
Look up “Jaguarundi” & see if that’s what you saw. Possible they could be in Louisiana 🤷🏽♂️. They are a brownish black color
Oh btw, my wife and I love the podcast. You men are doing great work.
i seen one in Ratcliff Texas while deer hunting in 1987
Mountain lions or Florida panthers can appear fairly dark in color but wildlife experts insist there are no verified cases of black (melanistic) panthers like there are with jaguars. Folks including my brother in law have insisted they saw one but maybe it’s a combination of a darkish cat at a distance and/or in the shade and maybe a bit of the power of suggestion from tales they’ve already heard. And if they’re Gen X they might’ve also seen one in the made for tv Disney movie “the Ghost of Cypress Swamp” back in ‘77.
My wife swears up and down to me that she saw a Black Panther last fall on the way to work about 6:30 am near Sellersburg, Indiana. She was driving and it was in a field to the right walking towards the road. She said it was solid Black with a long tail and it was bigger than a black Lab dog.
I run a podcast and would love to discuss.
Of course they exist. They supposedly roam the Everglades
No they don't. We have Florida Panthers but not black ones .
@@gregmartin1757 I have heard they can be black
I saw one in KY in early eighties. Mom and dad don’t believe me until 2 weeks later when they saw it. Our dog hid behind mom.
A black panther is "the melanistic colour variant of the leopard and the jaguar. Black panthers of both species have excess black pigments, but their typical rosettes are also present. They have been documented mostly in tropical forests, with black leopards in Africa and Asia, and black jaguars in South America. Melanism is caused by a recessive allele in the leopard, and by a dominant allele in the jaguar." They have been documented mostly in tropical forests, with black leopards in Africa and Asia, and black jaguars in South America. Black panthers of both species have excess black pigments, but their typical rosettes are also present.
Otherwise, the Black Panther is by definition a melanistic color variant of any of several species of larger cat, the (African/Asian) leopard, the (South American) jaguar.
Both the jaguars and the leopards inherit either the recessive allele or the dominant allele approximately 1 in every 24 births.
As for the American Cougar, there is no authenticated case of a truly melanistic cougar. No specimen has been photographed or killed in the wild, nor has it ever been bred in captivity. Unconfirmed sightings known as the "North American black panther" are currently attributed to errors in species identification by non-experts, and by the mimetic exaggeration of size.
I've seen them in Alabama b4 when I worked as a groundskeeper
I'm from alabama . And back in the early 80s my grandad claimed he saw a black panther . In jefferson county out in the farm land
On a golf course?
We use to see them in the 70's and 80's around Monroeville. Everyone swore up and down they where black, but the one I saw was definitely brown.
My uncle Billy rest in peace he seen Black Panther and I heard it, but I’m here in West Virginia so I’m sure they’re down there in Louisiana. They’re real. They’re out there.
U are right I was born and raised there seen them all the time
Saw one 50 years ago while I was frog hunting in Richland parish. He was trailing a deer.
I am not saying there aren't big black cats, but I don't believe they are Panthers. Someone would have shot one or hit one with a car by now. Every cougar/panther/mountain lion that has ever been killed or captured has been brown.
Panthers are real . My mom and I saw a female with 3 kits about 1960 where we were working in our garden The mother leaped about 8 feet out of the creek bottom onto a large flat rock and the 3 small ones came up just to her left . My best guess would be she would have been over 9 feet total , coal black . This was the only time we ever saw them .
Would love hear more.
Saw one when I was a boy growing up in West Virginia
My dad saw one here in Taylor County, TX while deer hunting way back in the 80's.
No he didn’t
@@jeffpitts8316 nope, can't see an animal that doesn't exist.
@Steve-ev6vx until you find out that certain government agency involved in wildlife has/have been releasing them 😉
@@Good_ol_Butch I am not saying the aren't. I am saying they can't release an animal that doesn't exist. If they are releasing Panthers, they are brown.
@@Steve-ev6vx try again...
Lol Panther stories from the south are great!
I saw one run across the road that goes between Mr Phil’s place and the Franklin property when I was about 16 years old back in the 90s. No one believed me 🤷♂️
We saw pumas and female with kittens and a black one at Chapel Hill near Mount Pleasant,Texas 20 years ago.
Would love hear more for my podcast. Do you mean one of the kittens were black?
Some men were tracking hogs and came across a female puma.Brown and she had kittens brown 2 .She was hunting for food the hogs. Not long after that a neighbor said he saw a black puma down in the woods from our houses. By lake Welch power plant. Couple weeks later driving back from work near a creek Bridge I saw a puma kitten which had been killed by a car.
@@jayemcvay8038 😂 A Melanistic Cougar has NEVER BEEN DOCUMENTED IN HISTORY. But sure… YOU’VE seen one 😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Outside of Branson I saw a black panther. I thought I was looking a black German shepherd for a second but couldn’t believe my eyes when I got closer. It was just trotting into a farms field. It was unmistakable when I got close. Really long tubular tail. Feline gate.
My wife and I just got home from a week in branson, I man that worked at silver dollar city told us that he had seen a black panther also.
Would have had to have been a Jaguar or Leopard, which is a possibility with the pet trade. That or it was a brown panther in the shadows. If they get mange they look black too, because their skin is dark.
I saw one probely waited about 60 pounds. On the hwy from Luna to Columbia at 3:30 in the afternoon about 3 miles south of sweet water rd. In Caldwell parish he was solid black and his tail was as long as he was. He ran across the road in front of me and jumped straight up a imbankment going towards the River. They the wildlife and fisheries can say there ain't no black panther s here all they won't but I know what I seen.
Officially, there are none in Maine, but my Grandfather was followed out of the woods by one as a young man, and I've seen two of them.
Would love to hear about the sightings.
My mom saw one twice in Maine as well.
@@quierodesign3958 kinda like a bob cat or a lynx, very brief.
once was watching traffic for my neighbor crossing the road with a tractor, looked north and saw it cross the road, one bound from the ditch landed it half way across the opposite lane, the second made him disappear so quickly i questioned what i saw. i had a dog near eighty pounds and i would guess it was larger and a tail easily as long as the animal, as smooth and round as a mop handle. it was dark, and i attributed that to it being a damp day.
the next i saw a month later, riding with a friend a few miles up the same road. this time the cat crossed the road like a missile, belly near the ground, very little undulations as it crossed so fast it still seems incredible and again that great long tail as smooth and round as a mop handle.
i began to question my friend about what he saw while trying not to "lead" him with my questioning, he said "we both know what we just saw Larry".
I have seen them in Florida probably a half dozen times, and once in Alabama (about 40 years ago) and they were all brown. They looked like the ones that hunters shoot out west and in Canada.
I've always told everyone they were full of stuffing about the same thing, about 15 year ago I saw one as black as night in broad day light in Columbus County NC. One I saw was full grown
Can I hear more?
Duck guide a buddy and I hunted with said he had seen one on the refuge before out that way. I like hearing these kind of stories.
"Melanistic" mountain lion... Melanistic means "Black" 🐈⬛... I saw a small one in southern Indiana in the early 2000's...
That's what I'm thinking.
A black mountain lion?
Wow, that's freaky. I believe it. I saw something in the woods and to this day I still don't know what it is. It was approximately 4 ft. in height and clinging to a tree. Kept staring at me. This thing didn't move. Just stared at me. I eventually left. Had a weird shape to it as well. !!!! 🇺🇸
Would be interested in hearing about the weird thing!
Let Phil talk for goodness sake
Alot of people all over the country and even Canada have seen big black cats. I have no doubt they're out there. The only question left is what exactly are they?
I literally watched the episode today with them
making Godwin move like a black Panther
I now live in Hong Kong and have recently been enjoying duck dynasty for the first time ever. My dvd copies of the entire series arrives this Friday.
When I got my first apartment I didn’t have cable. I was poor but I had their dvd bundle with all the seasons.. that and Sanford and son, the best show ever
🙏
Western Indiana has had the Wampus Cat legend for 50 plus years now.
My buddies saw one in Central Florida about 15 years ago. Long tail and a huge block head
Nice to know there may actually be a few origonals left!!!❤
If you'd let your Dad talk... jase...
Why do you ? wisdom, jase...
Good grief ....
I love the family and show, but put a governer on big mouth...😂.
I saw a black panther on my property in Utica Ms.
Care to share more?
Anything is possible! After all, we are now seeing Black Bear in Western Kentucky. There have been numerous sightings, as well as, less than 200 yards from my home in Daviess Co. KY. No joke. It's well documented. If we have Black Bear in Western Kentucky, anything is possible.
😂 Love the debate, but from being from AZ where big cats do exist..lion, jaguar and bobcat, y'all are very confused about what they actually look like. Did ya check for tracks, that'd tell you the size weight and stride of it. Hope you did actually get a jag over there. God bless you all. ❤ your podcast . Thx❤
I saw one up here in Canada. Nobody believes me either.
I believe you brother. No doubt in my mind they're out there. Read all the comments under this video, they have been seen all over North America.
Totally do. Would like to hear more.
I’ve seen one the swamps out in Beucoupe area. Around Hooterville area. There’s cougars here, I’ve seen the tan ones too.
I saw one deer hunting 2014,,, in deer stand, came up by big ditch that ran the whole bottom,,, Hardeman Co. Tennessee,,, 30 ft,,, black as coal long tail,,, panther,,, slick looking, spotted me , it froze for bout 20 seconds, then jumped 10 ft ditch,,, 2 jumps, out of sight,,, My granddaddy n great aunt had seen and heard them in same area,,,, they are real, believe it!!!! Have not been back deer hunting since,,,,,,,
It would have had to have been an escaped Leopard or Jaguar. If there were black Panthers we would have trail cam pictures, along with road kills and legal panther hunting out west would have produced a specimen.
Black panthers are real
I seen one in 98-99. Crossed the road just in front of me. Height was about the same as the bumper of my Toyota 4x4. It looked jet black, tail was as long as it was. It was about 30 minutes after dark. I think it was a Jaguar with a strange pigment. O it was in west central Alabama.
Im from West Texas. This is interesting because I've always wondered why 2 high schools in my area were Called the panthers w BLACK PANTHER mascots. I was curious because MOST SCHOOLS in the area were named after some part of history in the town or state.
Mountain lion, puma, cougar, panther-this cat is known by more names than just about any other mammal! But no matter what you call it, it's still the same cat, Puma concolor, the largest of the "small cats."
There's been spotted at Greenbelt lake only 7 miles from Clarendon Tx in the Tx Panhandle
I lived in Winston ,Ga near Douglasville. There was one out there, it was supposedly from an escape. My friends grandparents found it eating catfood off their porch.
Maybe a jaguarundi?
Could of been a black Jaguar. I've heard that their numbers are on the rise. They were hunted so heavily they almost became extinct
I've seen one here in TN. Beautiful animal. The one I saw had just come out of the woods and crossed the country road I was on.
A black jaguar?
A jaguar in TN ? in a zoo maybe ? in the wild ? No !
I don't care if you believe me or not, I know what I saw .
There use to be many of them, until they were hunted heavily.
Do your research.
Put up some trail cams Phil!
I already see Panthers in Big Cypress along with Bears, pythons and iguanas. 😂
I seen clear picture of a black panther. He was shot . Picture is black and white and clear. Man holding it by the tale . He was a good hunter and ethical . He has passed away . Don't want any trouble or any form or fashion. But color appears black brown. 90% black. Excuse me I might remember who might have the picture it's been a good while . Hey I personally would not believe it unless I saw it for myself. No it's not free.
I have seen them a couple times in Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. It is well known & have several friends who have seen them too. It definitely was way bigger than 40lbs with long tail & slopped back...Girlfriend didn't believe it till she saw it months later with a younger 30lb baby.
Big house cats arent unheard of. I have a cat named maui who's about 2 feet long weighs 20-25lbs.
And at a distance when an animal is alone, it is really hard to tell size. I grew up deer hunting. It wasn't uncommon for someone to shoot what they thought was a full grown 150 pound doe, just to get up to it and it be a 30-50lb buck or doe fawn (they lose spots at about 20 pounds). I have seen it happen dozens of times.
I've seen several panthers in Louisiana. Black panthers are just regular panthers (cougar) with melanism. It's the opposite of albino. Panthers have been in south Louisiana for a very long time. They are just very good at being stealthy.
Too me. smaller build, dark blackish brown fur, long tail, could very well be a Jaguarundi! They are officially endangered in the United States and one has not been seen in Texas atleast officially since 1986 or so. Not an Endangered species to the world but to the United States they are which is why most have never seen one and can’t really explain them some have never even heard of such
Seen two on adjacent hunting leases between 2009-2020 in St Tammany Parish. Had witness on first sighting, watch the second sightings for a couple minutes. Both cats had long tails
A police ofc I know in the mtns of NE GA, swears they saw a black panther near Sky Valley. I don’t believe it though. 😂
Mountain Lions DO NOT get black, leopard yes, jaguar yes, mountain lion NO. The number of trail cameras in the woods now days is unreal in recorded history there are no pictures of a black mountain lion you could never go see one in a zoo EVER. Yet any video on the internet about mountain lions in the comments its I saw a black one,I saw a black one. I think Im the only person left in the state of Pennsylvania that hasnt seen a black one
A Black panther, is just a different color cougar, I believe. We have them close to me in Florida, but more like a mountain lion. I see them couple times a year, along with hogs, bear, and assorted animals that don't belong in Florida.
I believe your father I've personally seen a black Panthers, because there are black panthers that were put in by our government in Northeast Missouri there's a whole family of black Panthers we use the spotlight them at night and we can see them with their big green eyes and they made the sound that sound like they're crying and then the spotlights you can clearly see a big black cats there must have been 15 or 20 of them at least from what I remember
We have them here in Virginia too, I’ve seen a few and one had little ones. They are making a comeback and not sure why all the secret from the game commission. The ones I saw were close, the female with cubs only 2 feet in front of the truck the others were a few yards away. The ones I saw were jet glossy black just like a bear and there eyes are an emerald yellow green. The female was probably 125 lbs and the big male behind my house was over 200, he was blocky and had a droopy belly. The others were probably 150 or so lbs, the kittens were around 15 to 20lbs. I saw them all around my house around 10 in the morning and close to 3 in the evening, only the female with young me and my wife saw at night in front of the headlights. There tails are about as long as the body. I took pictures of the tracks of the big male but the sun on the snow made them hard to see but following his tracks I could have saved some of the snow where he urinated but didn’t. 9:19
I believe what you seen according to your description is a jaguar. I know they’ve made their way up into South Texas, so for them to be in southern Louisiana would not shock nor surprise me.
Black Panthers do exist and we have them in Texas. Maybe they come up from Mexico I'm not sure but they definitely exist
I live in South Carolina in the Mountains, and saw a Mountain Lion in the early 80s and lots of people said they were not in the State, So I showed them the Department of Wild Lifes Rules and Regulations that clearly stated (In South Carolina it is a felony to Harm or Molest in any way a Mountain Lion). Just because others havent seen one doesnt mean they dont exist, I have never seen the Wind Blow but I know it does.
Panther comes from the Latin word , Panthera which is a genus of cats that includes lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars. Mountain lions are in the genus Puma and there no black mountain lions. If you saw a " black" panther ,you saw a leopard or a jaguar that belonged to someone and got loose.
AH. HA!!! Uncle Si was right! There is a black panther...lol. That is great!
