Here we go again.....Black Panther Sighting
 

KLFY has posted on their facebook page about an UNCONFIRMED Black Panther sighting in Acadia Parish. Pictures to go with story. Now being that I have 2 degrees in wildlife, and work as a scientist, I am not one to buy into these stories. Is it possible that bigfoot and black panthers exist? Sure. Is it likely, considering there has never been 100% fool-proof evidence of one? No.

That being said, the pictures, while from a good distance away, look like a large black cat. It may be real. They even found large tracks to go with it. Be interesting to see where this goes.

Only thing I find to be truly ridiculous about the whole thing is that the women said she was only 100 feet away from the cat when she took the pictures. If that is true, then either that is a black house cat and not a black panther, or lady is terrible at accurately measuring distances.

Can u post th pic? Lol cuz a guy at work came with a pic of one today and claims he took it on his property lmao!

Had to grab it from another site. Can't get to my facebook right now. There is another one zoomed in on the cat.

I doubt it but you never know. Last year in henderson I saw a solid white large cat. Way to big to be domestic. Showed 2 game wardens and they think it is a albino fox. Wish I could post the pics it's on my old phone that broke.

Lol that's the one

So your buddy said he took it?

Big Black House cat..lmao

Lol yea

Well this was supposedly in the Broussard area. I really think it could be legit. They are saying they found a paw print the size of a human hand. Now, why they didn't take a picture of this print beats the hell out of me.

..

lmao!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I mentioned it last year but could not post the pic....I got it on the phone I would like your expert opinion. PM me your cell number will try to send it.

Definitely a house cat. Check out the freshly mowed grass and his belly is dragging the grass.

Blow up of that picture.

Go

the second one is a male

Got the white cat pixs... does look like fox

Pomeranian

That bottom pic is a Jag. 2nd largest cat next to tiger. 250lbs. Also the only big cat that can be black and even then it's rare. MT Lions its literally 1 in a few million chance one could be black. The majority of black cat sighting are house cats that look big because of the back ground and other things making it look better.

spotless dalmation

Bushy looking tail on white one looks like fox.

Where is the meme? Freaked me out never seen anything like it before in the wild. Watched it for almost 30 mins.

...

LOL

Lions are the second biggest cat on earth besides a tiger...jags are 3rd...the biggest they get are around 300 lions get close to 600 and tigers have been known to grow to be jjst south of 1000 lbs.....google told me all of this btw

Dude that used to work for my dad swears he saw one(black panther) in my woods in St Francisville while squirrel hunting about 20 years ago. And this dude's nickname is "Gator Man". He would put Swamp People boys to shame. Dude will go camp in the middle of the swamp in a tent by himself for a week or two and just live off the land. Kind of hard not to believe him, you never know. If it was anyone else i would definitely call BS. I have seen some big cat tracks on my prop before.

....

New species and sub species are discovered all the time. Y'all hear about the new bass in Florida? There have been many times when a "mythological" creature or color variation was known by "unconfirmed" observations for decades before finally being confirmed by the scientific authorities of the day.

Proving negatives is almost impossible in science. Even if a specific sighting has a more reasonable explanation, that does not prove there is no black panther, just that a specific instance is unconvincing.

I have no idea if this sighting is real or not. I'd be more impressed if a qualified scientist made a full investigation such as photographing and casting the prints before dismissing the claim out of hand. The size and weight of an animal can be accurately estimated from a good print. The photograph leaves open the question of scale.

ha, news said it was a large domestic cat. only one way to find out... shoot it!

So on KATC they showed a cut out of a cougar in the same place at the same distance..... It was nearly 4 times as big as the house cat they saw....

No, I beg to differ! There ARE black panther's out there in the wild!!

No offense, but I dunno how much I would buy into something a guy whos name is gator man and who lives in the woods by himself for weeks at a time says.

Yeah I talked to the biologist that investigated it. said they figure its a 30-40lb house cat. It's no panther but still pretty big for a pet cat. Thing must be eating some high protein food.

I've come across many crazy *** house cats. I Don't think I would want to mess with a 30-40 pounder.

He was drunk

Yep prob so. Or stoned.

Will/can house cats and say bobcats interbreed like coydogs?

the so calld black panther in question is realy a jaguar.an i have seen two in west bay since i was young there is a photo of one at a store in bayou chicot from a locals trail cam an when you look at it theres no doudt its real.

Didnt they have footage of a panther on the series North America? Could be wrong, just remember a big cat that they said took forever to get in camera.

I'm so saltlife I have a pet black panther!!!

10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish
