I found this in 2 seconds using google. When I get a chance I will find you a better article.

8. Can cougars be black?
There is no scientific documentation that a black color phase exists in cougars in North America. Several species of the larger spotted cats (leopard and jaguars) do have black color phases. An exotic cat called a jaguarundi, which looks somewhat similar to a cougar -- just a smaller size, has a black phase.

2 dogs ! I agree the back legs aren't large enough, they are bent different and the tail isn't long enough. I have a half shepard half lab laying on my floor right now, her tail is exactly like that.

Mountain Lions agree, black pathers disagree..

I believe everyone should just take 2lungers word that they are a dog and not a panther or couger
From what i understand he is an expert on female cougers......

I don't mind cougars, I kinda like one every once in awhile

You are correct. I have my female cougar reconition certificate. There is not another man on this thread who has had his hands on more female cougars than me.

Can't see how those could even be close to a cougar. Tail length is too short. Also, Just look at the body of the back animal. It basically is extended out like what a dog does to smell a potential mate. You can also see the collar extending down below its neck. The body length is also too short to be that of a large cat. If this was a cougar the tail would be a lot longer. You can also tell my the slender size of the cats hindquarters. A wild cat has to have much larger hindquarters to take down the prey it catches. I've seen cougars in the wild, many times close up at the zoo close to my house and too many that I care to admit at the bars here in Chicago. Seems to be a couple hounds to me.

2 Lunger is right in all his findings as well. People may call animals black panthers but they don't exist. I think that the percentages lead to this picture being of dogs. Personally, I'd rather catch 2 sasquatches on camera mating, now that would be a good thread to read!

Coon hounds get my vote. Looks like the one on the left has a collar too. Know all about them. had a bunch run by my stand yestrday morn followed by the owners. Just watched and smiled.

read this. I am not arguing with any one about these pics on this thread, I agree who really knows whats in these pics. But I now am on a mission about the Black Cougar. I have googled the do they exhist and I have found more of they do than they don't. I have a hard time with yeah theres black leopard's and black jags but yet oh no there can't be a black cougar. anything is possible, we have white deer don't we, and we have does with horns.

Wasn't referring to you when I said 70's...but most of the rest I was. And this is a forum, I don't know you, you don't know me, so why should I believe you...where's the evidence of these mammals in that region?

As far as the hunt goes, sunds good, I'm always down for a cougar/panther hunt. I like dark cougars as well as the light ones
