There have been at least two confirmed wild cougars in the last few years. None were black, and there was only one at each time. There is one on display as soon as you walk into the LDWF headquarters in Baton Rouge. This was killed around Shreveport, but it was actually of domestic origin. Most times when an animal is out of its range like that its a young male roaming, see it with black bears all the time. When a nuisance black bear is caught south of I-10 they used to take them up to the Tensas area to relocate them. Many times the bear would be back in the exact same spot not long afterwards after traveling over 100 miles
IF it didn't get ran over by a vehicle. The only way to get a successful relocation now is to move a female with cubs. She will stay in the area to raise here cubs and not take them on that long journey back 'home'.
