[QUOTE=MandoMan;1948519]I don’t think there has been a documented sighting of a Florida panther in The Villages. They weigh about four to six times as much as a bobcat. More like Great Dane size. If you live near a swamp and have seen bobcats, be careful about leaving your little lap dog outside by itself at night, but you don’t do that, anyway. It won’t be attacked if you are walking it on a leash, and you won’t, either.
I have a friend that has a home overlooking Lake Miona, He took photos and a video of a Florida panther walking along his fence line near the preserve. It was tan colored and had a long tail that went down to the ground. And was much larger than a bobcat.
