Just had a woman visitor - my wife�s friend - over for a visit. Recently she has seen a Leopard and a black Panther. Swears that she has. I tried to explain that we are neither in an area or continent where a Leopard might be found, but she wasn�t having any of that nonsense, having seen one. Said it wasn�t a tiger cause it had spots and not stripes.

So...you folks be cautious when you walk in or near wooded areas. A Leopard might get you, if the black Panther doesn�t.

Are you sure she didn't say she'd seen a "Leupold" ?

I lived there when this happened:

Don't make fun of people unless you're really, really sure.

Jaguar maybe???

Pretty safe bet to make fun of someone that has not seen one but two creatures not in the area.

I have an old friend that has seen it all chupa to Bigfoot.

Here in central Texas bigfoot sightings are very common. I have see him several times even happened to take a pic of him one time.

Bobcat.

I am continually amazed by the number of people who have seen black panthers, often more times than they have seen regular ole tawny mountain lions. I know people that have seen black panthers on multiple occasions in different locations. Now we have a lady that has seen BOTH recently. Apparently like the others I have spoken with, she is just as convinced of their reality.

Tide Pods, condom snorting, black panthers, leopards, sasquatch...I really do wonder how the human race ever made it this far.

A certain percentage of us were destined by nature to be eaten by lions. Unfortunately, there�s quite the lion shortage these days.

Does she have any dopers in the area? They like to have some pretty wild pets.

. Truth!

The Smithsonian Natural History Museum would have a fit if it's human history section read this comment LOL

Remove all the warning labels and let nature take its course.

On behalf of the cavemen, we invented the wheel, got things rolling for U feather weights, NV, thermal hunters.
thinking bout doing a swap hunt.
Done the night hog hunts, flash light off, wondering about the woods with pistal on tbe hip. Would like ta do a trade hunt, video of me hunts by one of U experts in trade of a polar bear hunt.
U Fly up here, i'll suply the wet suit. All U gots ta do is put it on, flippers on your hands, lay on your belly & sound like a seal, i 'll take care of the rest, dont want ya'll mistaken one of our abonible snowmen for a polar bar. If it gets wounded, all ya gots ta do is out run me, i gots a bad knee.

ya'll stay Safe. Leopard sounds like excape if anything. Dont think leopards roamed big cat with sun spots ?

edit enjoy watchen the hog hunt videos with NV & Thermal. Seeing more & more getting into it.

That's awesome.

I�ve seen a few of these nefarious critters over my lifetime in Texas and other Southern States. I even know the Jagurundi is in Bexar County. Its like belief in God, for the believer no proof is necessary, for the unbelievers proof is not possible.

One thing I know for sure...If you sit on the couch or behind a desk, you won�t see anything.

Friend of mine saw a young mountain lion last year, running down the bar ditch near his house. It was young and he could see spots under its fur. Looked like a jaguar to him. We concluded a juvenile M L.

Obviously, your friend doesn't know a leopard when he sees one.

Those pesky little details....

I've seen cougars wearing leopard skin more than once.

Those are the type that you have to be most careful of!
