This goes back to around 2000. Snake hunting in the Everglades middle of the night, my friend and I saw a black panther. I know, I know, impossible, Florida doesn't have them etc etc etc. we both saw it clear as in a zoo in the floodlights of his truck. 100% big cat, 100% black.

I have a shirt of a black panther holding a shotgun.

Me and a bunch of guys saw a lynx at a remote airstrip in western Australia.

I remember driving around Florida and seeing a sign with a panther on it. It might have said panther crossing or it just implied it. Wish I could remember where it was.

Saw a hulking Florida Panther on a lonely creek in NW FL. Wikipedia says there's only a small population in the very south.

Plenty evidence of them in the UK, I see no reason they couldn't be in Florida!
