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.

No need to get defensive. I wasn't trying to put you down or anythig. I was simply giving you the knowledge so you would realize your using theterm incorrectly.

No hard feelings.

I am just amazed at the fact, that after all your "skoolin'" you have failed to learn the word...
Dialect.
I checked 2 different encyclopedias and websters to get this information to support my use of the word panther...

Panther=a name applied to the Mountain Lion or Puma of North America and the Leopard of Africa and Asia

Puma [pyu'ma], a large New World cat that compares in size and strength with the jaguar. The Puma, Felis (Puma) Concolor, also known as mountain lion,cougar,panther,painter,and catamount....etc

I have never heard the term catamount but I see where the term comes from a cat you can mount and ride maybe???
