Default Panther Caught On Tape Near Pittsburgh

I've also never heard of a black lynx either. C'mon, I know it's Monday and you're trying to catch me while I'm trying to get the blood flowing. And all the lynx I've ever seen in Canada or the US (wildlife shows) have a bobbed tail also. They are just bigger than the bobcat. If it is all black like the one in the video it is probably a black panther of the non-Jumbofrank mentioned type. When I was a kid Moose were only common in Maine. Now, 40 years later, they are seen regularly in VT, NH, and the Northern half of Mass. There are coyote running around in Boston and all of New England now. When I was young they were only in Northern New England.

I wish I knew how to transfer my old vhf of the Jaguar(panther) crossing a green field,with a deer in the field.A turkey hunter ,several years back shot and killed a couger type animal in the Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge,the cat was very big and looked the size of a Jagaur.The cat was caramel color.I had a camp along the Tombigbee river in the eighties,and saw many cat signs as well as seeing a large long tailed cat of rust color cross a road not fifty feet from my jeep.Scary,to say the least.This all took place place in a radius of 5 miles.My camp was directly across the river from the wildlife refuge.University of South Alabama said the possibilty of Jaguars being in mid-south Alabama was possible,because they could have migrated up from central America.

I watched it a few more times and still can't tell what it is. It sucks that the video is so small. I've seen a lot of videos of big cats, and the way their massive bodies move when they walk looks different to me. IMO this thing walks like a little puddy tat. As for it being a bobcat, there's just no friggin' way. Their tails are short like a bears, like it's BOBbed off. Why do you think they call them BOBcats? A lynx tail is short like that too.
