[When an Appalachian-American calls something a "Panther" they are talking about the Felis Concolor otherwise known as the painter and couger which is in all respects is a Mountain Lion or "Panther"
The genus was changed some years back it's now
Puma not
Felis. If it ever was. I vaugley remember it changing.
Still, they were never in the same subfamily (
Pantheridae) as Panthers.
The internet is by definition immune to colloquialisms.
