[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2952403, member: 118823"] I have personally witnessed, along with my brother, a huge bobcat turn from a shiny jet black to a normal gray color as we drove closer to it. He thought it was his black lab Ranger that had went missing 6 months before. I said that is a BIG CAT. As we went from 130 yards to about 10 yards on a very over cast cloudy day his "appearance" went from jet black to whitish gray. I think most black panther sightings are probably regular tan cougars but for whatever reason (lighting etc) they appear black. NOW I once had a chat with THE Warren Haslouer of the Smokey River Bluetick kennels. This man had treed and killed probably 150 cougars in his lifetime. He even went down to old Mexico with his blueticks and treed a Jaguar back in the day. I asked him about black cougars. He then told me a story about a hunt in Idaho where they were on top of a deep steep canyon. The dogs went down through canyon and ran a pair of big cougars up the other side of the canyon. He said the sun was shining at his back and the cats were in bright clear sunshine as the top of the canyon was treeless about 400 yards away. One cat was normal colored the other was a shiny jet black. They didn't tree either cat but said they spent several weeks trying to find it again. [/QUOTE]
