Oh just wait til the black panther guys chime in. At least there is a possibility a wild mountain lion will eventually end up in Bama or it could escape from its sanctuary, but a non existent animal ( black panther) claimer will get defensive.



Black jaguars do exist and look extremely similar to a panther or mtn lion

Do you know how many large cat sanctuaries have been around?
Years ago there was one close to Rogersville. It was well documented and the folks running it found out how expensive it was to feed those big cats. Where’d they end up?


I suspect they died cause the would not do well hunting in Alabam

You can have a black jaguarandi and a black jaguar, neither are of which is a black mountain lion nor are either in our country unless as stated are in a zoo or sanctuary. There are not many escapees from either annually so the odds of seeing either is likely not high and almost impossible for multiple people in different areas to see the same escapee all over the state but hey what do I know maybe they are everywhere just really good at hiding from the millions of cars, millions of hunters, millions of game cameras and millions of houses in Alabama



Nope I’m just simply point out it is possible. Highly unlikely but still possible.

Like anything unknown at the time it has to exist first and foremost before it is confirmed. It’s statistically impossible for it to exist and be found at the same moment.

I’ve never thought all sitings were accurate rather a small percentage were possible.

Things are rarely black and white rather “it depends” more than not.

It has been recorded of a mtn lion traveling from out west to the Jersey turnpike and being run over. He wasn’t run over until he got there. How many folks saw him traveling thru.

I don’t think anyone claiming to actually seeing a mtn lion or big black cat continuously in an area for any extended time. It’s usually a brief period or mostly just once. So that increases the likelihood of being plausible.

Life is rarely all or none but instead endless possibilities
