I heard the black panthers favorite food is a beavecoon.

They're vicious too, seen one the other day took a photo:-)

[Guest Lester Weevils]

Dang, thought that Malik Zulu Shabazz was coming to mid tn!

its on his fun saver disposable. it will be grainy and about 200 yds away. the panther will resemble a small bush

[monkeylizard]

He was spotted hanging out with this Siberian Wooly Mammoth.....

[Guest tommy62]

chupacabra?

[Guest bkelm18]

Probably just a Water Moccasin.

[BigK]

I have it on good authority that the lil black kitty is being adopted by the Jack Links sasquatch as soon as he can save up to have it spayed or neutered.

[Guest lostpass]

the guy said it was only forty pounds which is on the small side for a panther. I'm guessing a bobcat heavily into the goth scene.

Yep, and I reckon that snuffleupagus monkeylizard posted is about 5,000 pounds.

Maybe Stewie got loose. He's over 4' long:

Sadly, he's been diagnosed with cancer:

An Emo Bobcat?

Since this database is managed at a university, could be either kind of cougar.

[Guest Republican]

Anything is possible, however, I do not believe their are any cougars left. I am sure they were indigenous to the area many years ago but not presently. I know people who have claimed to have seen them in recent years but can notI prove it. I have not personally saw one or sign of one in the east or middle tn areas. There are thousands of game cams out there in the woods, so there should be a photo of one somewhere if they do indeed inhabit tn.

Common sense doesn't enter into this eternally reappearing discussion.

Of course a black cougar is really laughable, since there has never been one documented case of one. Not one. Ever. In history. From the cougar's historic range from Canada to South America.

But people "see" them all the time. Last one I saw, Elvis had it on a leash.

[monkeylizard]

yeah, but that was because the cougar got into Elvis' hair dye.
