[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.
Well excuse me for not being a scientist. I gave my opinion based onseveral experiences I have had in the real world, people within a300 miles of me have called the dang thing a Panther for 300 years and peoples use of the word "Panther" in reference to the Puma will continue to live on regardless of your thoughts...
Go argue with somebody else about something that might actually have a positive outcome.
