A mountain lion was killed by a car in Milford, CT in 2011. They traced it's origin to South Dakota. Those cats like to wander. Officials tend to dismiss sightings as bobcats. But they couldn't really do that when there was a body. A rare treat for this channel to go south of the border.

The Appalachian and Ozarks were once the natural range of jaguars and possibly mountain lions. They said they were wiped out by angry farmers. My Mom's boyfriend has a sister who saw a black Jaguar in the mountains of West Virginia recently.

1966 ish, I was very young swinging on my swing in the back yard, Watertown, CT. I heard a mountain lion 'roar' and I jumped off that swing and ran about an acre of land to the house in a nano second. I knew what they sounded like from various tv shows: Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom etc. My childhood home was near the Appalachian trail way outside of town. I do know that construction on a damn in the Black Rock State Park began around the time I heard that cat Watertown is next to Thomaston Ct. The year and area are right.

In the winter of 05, my wife and I saw a Black Panther in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky . While delivering newspapers on a snowy night. So it was very easily spotted against a white background. At about 50yrds, it ran up a cleared hillside. Breathtaking site.

I`ve seen three in Louisiana. The huge black cat I saw on the bank of the Sabine River backwater was as large as me...170 lbs at that time. Maybe it weighed less but it was larger than a hound dog. Broad daylight...riding small ATV..1989/90. A friend saw it three times there. Two neighbors said it "stalked them growling" which has to be a lie. The big cats aren`t aggressive unless you are. Maybe they threw something? My grandfather told us to never mistreat one or it would get revenge.

The known historic range for Jaguars includes parts of Texas and Louisiana and there is historical evidence and accounts to suggest they once ranged east of the Mississippi River across the South/Southeast to the Carolinas. Native tribes across the Southern U.S. have words for Jaguar in their languages (the word Jaguar comes from a native word) and artifacts from the region depicting Jaguars have been found along with clothing made from their skins. Early naturalists and other prominent figures from the 1700s mention the “American Tigre” as they often called it and go on to describe what could only likely be a Jaguar. They go on to say these “American tigers” were distinct from the known mountain lion (Puma concolor) of which was commonplace. Also mountain lions can’t be melanistic however jaguars can. I could go on and on but I’ll spare everyone. Just thought I’d share a possible explanation. Love the channel!

If I had to guess, they are melanistic pumas, jaguars, or some type of hybrid, with a thin population and probably different behavior to the parent species. This would be a feline equivalent to coydogs and coywolves. Even in Pennsylvania, where the game commission is adamant that we don't have mountain lions, forest rangers and game wardens still see them. We went on lockdown at a large campground around 2001 when a state official happened to see a sizable mountain lion within sight of some tents. A more fun and exotic theory is that these cats are like sasquatch, Nessie, and other cryptids that shouldn't be that hard to find - they may be interdimensional, crossing over once in a while. This would explain the inconsistent features and elusiveness, plus the odd features that sound more raccoon or weasel-like. I wouldn't be surprised to see confirmed sightings of wolves, jaguars, and even grizzly bears out of place in the eastern US.

In between the missinewa and wabash is nothing but farmland and forest except for some small towns here and there. My uncle and I have both had sightings of a large black cat. The cat i seen was chasing a white tail deer through some rather deep snow and it took the deer down. As it was closing the distance with the deer the deer was cutting some sharp angles and when the cat would match the turns of the deer the cats huge tail stuck straight out behind it. Like it was using that huge tail as balance

I’ve lived In Norwich ct my hole life and from Plainfield to to Preston to Hartford there has been sightings, I’ve found 100% bear tracks and my grandfather was the first president of the New England trappers association, he said without a doubt there are cougars around, not all the time but they pass through and you might get a younger one making a home range in the area, you hardly ever find deer carcasses so it’s not surprising you wouldn’t find the only ones body after it crawled off into a hole to die and got eaten by bugs and small critters like it was never there to begin with….. also i go for walks In the woods after it snows by my house and i find the tracks of 10 to 15 coyotes all chasing the deer around , the only thing you ever see is footprints and sometimes a pool of blood were the animal finally went down, you won’t even find the deer, just blood and TONS of tracks, my friends who sleep out in the woods ( homeless) say at night you will turn on a light to go piss and you will have 15 pairs of eyes 1 to 2 ft off the ground just watching you, the deer will eat out of your hands around here because they know we are not the threat, but those coyotes ugh they freak me out, sneaky guys never see the, unless you just quietly sit down wind in a place people wouldn’t Normally be from whatever way they are coming from

Approximately 20 yrs ago, my husband & his friend were fishing a natural pond in a small john boat, on the NW GA/SE TN state line and spotted what they initially thought was a large black dog, slowly prowling the far bank. They very quickly realized it was actually a black panther, with a long, low-held tail. It made their hair stand on-end, and they quietly paddled back to the bank, loaded the boat and GTFO.

A mountain lion was killed on I95 in New Haven, CT. Genetic testing said it came from Iowa. Supposedly, traveled 1000 miles to the Northeast. Catamounts have been seen by locals in NH and VT. But the fish and wild game officials refuse to acknowledge their existence. I was at a Home Depot in NH last week and overheard locals talking about sightings of these cats. If someone sees one of them, officials will tell them they didn’t see what they saw. Because hundreds of acres will have to be confiscated from homeowners, to create a preservation for them.

In the 3rd cluster of sightings those 2 poor Harlequin Great Danes- let Igor tell you, anything ballsy enough to take on a 150 lbGreat Dane is most definitely a panther. Great Danes are bred to go hunt wild boars. Anyone who knows anything about those boars knows how vicious they are especially as they get old. They get to where they don't want anything -anything- coming into their territory. Personally u couldn't pay me enough to go charge into the woods/bush to take on a wild boar. And this panther eagerly took on 2, 2!?!? 150 lb Danes? That's a dangerous animal for sure🐕

It seems to me that amongst all the sensationalism of the cougar sightings people were misidentifying Dogmen in all the excitement and lumping them into the whole fiasco of elusive creatures that are rarely seen. Like at around 22:30 when she's talking about how the people saw something with a bushy tail that resembled a large fox. Then goes on to describe an obnoxiously loud roar that trails off into a scream. Later on she describes the carcass of something they couldn't identify which was actually a juvenile Dogman. Newborns actually do resemble a monkey up until a certain age and throughout adolescence begin to take on their dog-like characteristics. I'm now really interested to know what became of the man who "found" it because if he was lying and actually was the one who killed it, his days would have definitely been numbered along with some of the people close to him.

Pumas have ranges that are several hundred miles, they can cover several states. NY state has sightings of regular color puma. When this becomes public, our forest rangers tell us they are passing through. They are not considered established until cubs are seen. Puma was native to New York state. To the point we have a range of mountains called Catskill. (kill a dutch word for creek) NY state has plenty of deer, as the population is out of control so a good food source for a passing cat. . I have seen black squirrels, albino deer and squirrels, so why not a black puma? Let's not even get started on the wolves people claim to see. Eastern coyotes are large because of their mixed heritage with close to extinct Eastern wolf. They are large but no way as large as a wolf so are probably what people are seeing.

I'd suggest you not shoot a jaguar or puma since they're endangered as a species! That'll get you some serious criminal charges!

One more comment from my peanut gallery of one, just for the hell of it: It's a shame that people aren't a little more sensible when they report and speculate on the existence of unusual animals. It baffles me that people could possibly attempt to conflate a clearly feline animal with a pterodactyl, of all things! No wonder there is such derision from the skeptics. Sadly, I think that such foolishness also damages the potential of serious study ever emerging and being directed toward that separate, and fascinating cryptid itself: the modern-day pterosaur! It does seem that there may be a surviving remnant of those airborne marvels as well, but good luck finding a scientist willing to investigate the subject when people are claiming them to be some type of winged puma! Cryptozoology is plagued by unfortunate coincidences it seems! What daft luck that the person in this story who showed the most initiative in seeking the truth about the panthers had to be born with the unfortunate name of "Groper"! How can anybody take a person with such dreadful nomenclature seriously?! Might as well name somebody "Mr. Fondler", or "Mr. Sex-pest"! Such is the sad luck of the cryptozoologist.

No, we do not have panthers here, it was just an Indian devil that attacked people during the full moon...how in the world is that better?😅

We cross paths with our share of mountain lions here in British Columbia regularly. Amazing animals to see in the wild. It's the mothers with cubs you want to give a wide birth.
