It's only been the last 8-10 years or so that everyone and their brother has a camera with them all the time.

And how many long tail cats have been seen in the last 8-10 years?

Panther, Puma, Cougar, Mtn.Lion etc...…..probably a few from time to time.
Black Panther, as in a black Jaguar from South America? No. unless it escaped
from a zoo.

I could actually see that happening or their being the possibility that a mountain lion wondered to the south east although that is also unlikely but a lot more likely than a black panther!!!

Dont know about panthers, but there's a ton of cougars around Madison. Try their walmart at around midday during the week, you're sure to spot a few

1999 I was sitting in a stand off 43 north of Tuscaloosa. Had 2 bobcats in the field and they spooked and took off. A tan cat walked through the field. This was before cell cameras. After it left I got down, went to truck and called the local warden. I had, atthattime, nice fresh tracks in the field. Game Warden told me I was FOS. Told him to come cast the track before he made his mind up. He never showed and we never saw it again.

I did learn later that a guy close to there had a couple cats in an enclosure and they got lose. I know for a fact what I saw, wish I knew if it was wild or an escapee.

Sorry, but too many people on here have seen them for it not to be real. Sometimes the biologists just don't know it all. There are even those who doubt that we still have Yahoo populations in AL.

I didn't think it was in question that big cats (pumas, mountain lions, whatever they're called) have been seen and/or caught on camera in extreme south Alabama, presumed to be roamers from Florida and not residents though. And also multiple credible reports from north Alabama somewhere (7 Mile Island / Wheeler Refuge??), again doubtful they are residents (but where would those have come from)? I'm no believer in resident cats, but it ain't a hill I'd die on. I've just always said IF they were there, folks would kill them, or at least post photos of them all the time. Ain't no way there wouldn't be pictures with as many cameras as there are in the woods 24/7. And also I'm sure the State would intend to protect them, so they wouldn't be a secret, and there'd be DCNR information about them (just like they do for bears).

My dad saw a mountain lion near Evergreen back in the 80's. Wasn't a black one though.

You gonna have to show me that law or regulation. Dont believe "black panther" is ever mentioned in the laws or regs.

I do not doubt that mountain lions (regular brown ones) COULD pass through Al. But NONE of the supposed game cam pics that folks showed me during 32 years working with Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries turned out to be an actual pic of a mt. lion anywhere near south Al.I have seen pics of every variety of black and brown dog that exists, pics of otters, pics of every variety of house cat, close ups of every piece of deer, coon, fox,coyote, possum, goat, calf and cow, mule and horse, lama, emu, and bird anatomy that you can imagine, but no lion. Here is my challenge, if you have a black panther or plain old mt. lion on your place, hang some meat up in front of a game cam and get me a good, identifiable pic of the critter and I will buy your supper at the Conestoga Steakhouse in Dothan.

Better yet, check out Hobby Lobby and you'll see them quite often.

They never escape so they say.

My uncle had one in the 1998 couple of years it was a solid 150lb cat named Sylvester....i was a teenager n would play with it sum but it could always sense fear and would play rougher till my uncle would smack it...luckily the game wardens took it away...he was one crazy guy but been in nursing home for last several years he only 64 I miss him
