  • My mama was going to work in the morning when she saw something across the field. She recorded it, and found it was a panther. Several nights before my parents heard a loud scream in the woods next to the house. They described it as a cat getting caught by an eagle. We believe it was the panther, who days later, crossed the field and was seen. This video chronicles my mama's video and our attempt to find any evidence of it.

    Dylan I live in Jeff Davis County and on 3 separate occasions I have seen these big cats. I know they claim we don't have any in Mississippi but I know that we do. I don't know why people are not seeing more of them on their wildlife cameras or why they haven't attacked other animals but I do know for sure that it's not bobcats because they have long tails. Thanks for sharing what you saw

    I believe it. I live in Arkansas, in the hilly mountain areas of North middle state about 20 miles from the Missouri line. My little community of Cherokee Village has people almost weekly catching sightings, pictures or videos of cougars walking in yards or roads on Nextdoor. We also have black bears and panthers.

      That’s very exciting Kathyrogers, I don’t deny your sightings. I’m not familiar with all cougars territories. I know about Florida Panthers, a subspecies of puma/cougar, Biologists don’t have any proof of any Fl panthers holding ground to procreate beyond SW Ft Myers Florida. Can you PLEASE send photos/videos of proof. There are many claims of Panther sightings beyond SWFlorida, even the never proved existence of Black Panthers but nobody has offered proof of the claims. If you can provide proof of your sightings it would be very much appreciated and your name would be in the books for providing valuable evidence. Thank you for your help

      I live in Southern California we regularly see mountain lions in neighborhoods up in the mountains and hills. In suburban neighborhoods people will post pics of mountain lions from their ring cameras. They never attack humans though because they’re scared of people. We don’t have grizzly bears either so there’s not really any predators that hurt people here often.

      @@Joe-gw9wh that’s great to hear Joe-, I’m sure it’s exciting seeing a Mountain Lion! I live in a wilderness area in SW Florida where we see Fl panthers crossing through our high ground property regularly, saw one walking down our long driveway today. They’re very elusive cats but have learned that we are no danger to them, when we encounter each other, the panther is the first to return its glaze back to the path it was on and ignore me, which I really appreciate! We share our sightings with the Fl Panther Biologists. Thanks for your reply

      Days before my parents heard a loud scream in the woods that they had never heard before, and said it sounded like a cat getting caught by an eagle. We also found very large claw marks in the woods on a tree, and were much too large for a bobcat. We had actually discovered them years ago but didn't think it could be a panther because we hadn't seen them around here.

    Well, I was driving in Dothan Alabama a couple years back and something shot cross the highway in front of me and I knew it was a big black cat. I’m trying to figure out if that was a jaguar. Or was it just a black big panther what was it but it was something that was very fast and it just came right across the highway on me🙀

      I have a cousin who lives in Arkansas on Northfolk Lake. My late mother and I went to visit her and her husband several years ago and and she told us to be careful walking outside at night because those that live in the area know of at least one cougar in the area. I was scared to go outside after dark while I was there. I know there are cougars in North and South Carolina as ppl have caught them on trail cams. I also recently heard of a report of one being spotted by more than one person in northern Illinois and northern Indiana. I believe their population has finally recovered enough that they are re-establishing their previous territories. They were all over our county at one time; why couldn’t they do it again? Look at the exploding coyotes population. There weren’t any coyotes east of the Mississippi when I was growing up mostly in Indiana, but now they’re all over the place, even inside our cities.

    The tail is three quarters the length of the body, short legs, compact neck (ie head close to shoulders). House cat all day long. It's a big tom but still a house cat.

      @DylanCDye  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That'd have to be a 6 feet long house cat. We have many wild house cats around here, and none are that big. This was filmed from over 100 yards away, it would be impossible to see a house cat that far away. I live here.

      @@DylanCDye Go to your Mama's and take a dog the size of a lab. Go to the field and start at the same point as the cat was first seen. Then walk along the tree as the cat did with the dog on the field side of you. Film it from same spot on the driveway. You'll have your needed perspective. I realize the field is planted now but that's how you understand the size of the house cat your mother filmed on her phone. Also send it to one of Florida Panther Conservancies and see if they'll verify it's a cougar or not.

      Most people believe that Mississippi doesn't have cougars (or panthers) anymore, but even after the 1940s when they were supposed to be extinct people were still seeing them. They're just really good at hiding, so it's almost a miracle to be able to see one.

      I live in SW Florida, our property adjoins the Fl Panther Preserve, I know the Fl Panthers range…I’m not as familiar with its cousins, cougars or mountain lions. I hear claims of panther sightings, even the unrecognized black panthers, but the biologists can’t confirm its existence without proof. There are many claims but never photo proof, everyone has a cell phone…with a cell phone shot and coordinates of its location the biologists would be more than happy to search for evidence. Please provide proof of your claims, we desperately want to believe you.

      Well, black panthers are a real thing. Cougars can have a genetic disorder where their fur can become black. Also, they could be black jaguars that come from South America. That's why they're very rare to see.

They are in Mississippi both black and tan ones my father encountered one over 30yrs ago while driving jumped clean over the hood of his car, he said the end of its tail brushed the hood. And one spotted on Sardis Lake as well. And me and my brothers and sisters saw one as children in the country where we stayed they've been around along time. How they've stayed secluded I don't know but for the past 5-10yrs they've gotten bolder by being seen.
