Ok. I have no trouble believing this article. You don't think that what they call a Florida Panther is a black cat do you? Florida Panther is a subspecies of the Eastern Cougar. Same thing as a cougar but just a tad smaller. It's no secret that the North American Cougar is expanding it's home range. Hell, we've had 4 dead wild cougars in the state of IL. in the last 8 years. Matter of fact, the Indiana DNR just got live photos this year of one just across the river from my home town.
