"Black Panthers: Despite the fact that a large percentage of "cougar" sightings are reportedly a large black cat or "black panther", there has never been a confirmed "black" cougar in the United States. Not a picture not a body, not a captive specimen ever. "
-- Not saying anyone didn't see one...stranger things have happened....but odds are against it.
There have been a couple cougars found in Illinois in the last several years...and while reports are they are gonna continue to move east...I hope they don't find any more. They found one in the county I hunt in 7 years ago...and I never want to see one!!
