Yikes! We’ve had sightings in the county of a black panther, the 4-legged kind and the wildlife folks felt compelled to say someone must have brought it into the area and let it go. To which we responded no...um...kidding, Sherlock.
Oh, my-I hope it gets trapped and given a nice home in a zoo or sanctuary-they are not terribly great in numbers. I hate it when people buy wild animals and shut them up in little areas or cages. They were never meant to live like that-then when they are too big and neurotic to handle, they just turn them loose-like all those Pythons and Boas in Florida...
