Actually, I think the last confirmed case of a black panther in North America may have been named Huey Newton...

FELINE black panthers...??... Yeah.. Right... I think a bunch of them were released by those little green men in Roswell, New Mexico...

They are just about as believeable... I know... I KNOW.... Neil Armstrong never landed on the moon, either... AND there was never a holocaust in Europe in the early 1940's...And on and on...yada...yada...yada...
