Black panther
 

Was at the mailbox in Glenbrook today and all the talk was about a woman who took her little dog out at 3am to potty and there was a black panther, the dog took off after the panther and.......he is gone of course. But a black panther at the Glenview CC??? Has anyone heard this?

How about the dog saw a black house cat and chased it?

Here's my brown panther.

Someone told me they saw a black panther in Homasassa!

Something ate a dog in Duval about 4 weeks ago. Community watch scooped what remanded of the dog out of a front yard

Fumar?

Smoke?? ate the dog?

:evil6:

Don't know what the dog chased, but it was not a black panther, as they do not exist.

Think they are cougars and they certainly exist in Florida, so do panthers but not black ones, along with black bears, foxes, etc etc etc

When I was 14 yr old and lived in Miami Springs, Florida, that would be 1953, I was at the local shopping area right across the Miami River and from Hialeah. I saw a pick up park right in front of where I was standing and he had a dead black panther draped over the front fender lodged between the head light and the engine cover. I was shocked and will never forget that beautiful dead animal. I guess he was legal in killing it at the time. Since then I have done research and the black panther is actually a jaguar. It looks black but if the hair is pushed aside, the under hair has spots. They used to be common in the southern part of North America and Mexico and on south. But they are gone from this area and scarce in general in this hemisphere. They do no exist in Africa or those continents.

I saw a black panther once, it was either Eldridge Cleaver or Huey Newton, I can't remember now which one.:police::beer3:

Now that is funny!!! It has to be true....For the love of god why was the woman walking her dog at 3 am??

A panther is like a leopard
except it hasn't been peppered
should you behold a panther crouch
prepare to say ouch
better yet, if called by a panther
don't anther.

Black panther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are very rare creatures.

I saw a Pink Panther once on Tv...he was funny.

I saw some pink elephants last night too by the way...ummm I mean nevermind

Reports are that the alligator at Turtle Mound had Black Panther Stew last night. What a jungle we live in!

Cougars frequent bandstands. And are caught.

Its obvious you never owned a puppy...the dog had to take a "leak"....happens more than you think!

There was a similar incident--both 52 though-- in front of a church in Oklahoma. We will have to see if that couple faces the same kind of harsh sentences. In front of a church in the Bible Belt. Not smart. http://www.okcfox.com/story/25987087...ma-city-church

Back to the panther. There seem to be quite fewer wild cats in Lynnhaven now that a coyote infrequently visits this area. It was on a neighbor's front porch a few months back probably hunting rabbits which are also the game of the various feral cats.

Too funny . . . somebody is feeling saucy!

Is saucy the name of the cougar??? I think I saw her at LSL.:censored:

Does anyone have a picture----or is this the Loch Ness Monster?

Hmmm---interesting

Here is a motion sensor photo of a Florida Panther chasing a wild hog taken east of Gainesville in the middle of the night. There is only suppose to be a couple of hundred Florida Panthers left and only in south Florida. This photo certainly proves they are much further north.

A TOTV member who lives alongside Heron executive not long ago posted that his backyard had been dug up by wild hogs. Around that same time I've spoke with a couple of golfers who saw a Florida Panther on Cane Garden 'Hibiscus' nine, which is very near Heron. It seems there might be some truth to these stories.

What's with all these snide remarks, most people treat their pets like family members.

:22yikes::a20:

I think that guy was Hank Haney's brother.

This is Florida. After dark our myriad of wild animals hunt. A leash might have saved this dog.

I just re-read the OP. I didn't catch at first that the little dog went missing. Very sad. How long would it have taken to snap on a leash? I will remember this when I dog sit my sister's ShiuTsu in a couple of weeks. I live near Glenview.

I will also be on the lookout for "Saucy Cougar" next time I am at at City Fire.

I have a black panther but he is quite tame and only weighs 18 pounds. He and his sister came from Cat Rescue.

If this is a true story then I sincerely hope that the woman finds her dog healthy and wiser. Our wonderful cat was carried off by a mountain lion at our home in California and I wouldn't want that to happen to the pets of anyone else.

Only if Hank Haney is Cherokee. Sequoyah Schools ? Cherokee Nation ? Eatern Oklahoma Tribal Schools ? EOTS ? Eastern Oklahoma Tribal Schools Facilities Management Program ? It is a wonder what people put on their Facebook pages as well as what is on Facebook.

I do hope this woman's dog shows up alive. My dog Sport would chase rabbits and the like outside in the backyard area but I would try to keep him on leash if I had had a recent sighting of a coyote, duck, possum, or feral cat. I have to keep Beau on leash at all times outside because he chases everything that moves which is not made of metal-- squirrels, bugs, birds, ducks, cats, rabbits, dogs, etc.

That's called prey drive, and some dogs have a higher degree of it than others. Our second golden's prey drive is much higher than our first golden's, even though the breed's drive is not real prominent. He would turn and try to chase after a jogger. I'm sure he would've been a car chaser if left unleashed. I always keep him on a leash for that reason (and the fact that he is totally traffic stupid...)

I hope the little dog comes back.

Black Panther seen on Buena Vista...Near Glenview
 

Yes, on the evening you discussed, I was on my way home from work at around 11:15pm via Buena Vista Blvd. when to my disbelief a most beautiful Black Panther loped in front of my car. In awe I slowed to see if I could catch another glimpse. However, he was not in my sight. My first thought was to notify police; as I understand the threat this cat could cause in a residential neighborhood. Consequently,when I reached the light at 466 there was "community watch" man in his car with the window down. So I stopped and reported what I saw and asked him if there were panthers in the area--he had not heard that there were; but he said there were about 2-3 bobcats in the area. I asked my husband if it could have been a panther. He did not believe that was what I saw either. It was the most beautiful large black feline I have every seen outside a zoo. I know what I saw. I am so sorry for the womans dog. That was my first fear..that small animals could be endangered. I hope the word gets out, and other pets do not encounter this beautiful creature. I googled Black Panthers in the Villages and came across this post. I think we all need more information. Take care out there.

If it were black, it was not a panther. The only big cats in the Western Hemisphere that are black are jaguars, and it defies logic that a jaguar was seen in The Villages, but I suppose it is possible. There are a few confirmed reports of black bob cats, which are twenty pounders give or take a few pounds.

Most likely a Florida Panther

Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge

This color phase is unusual. However, there has never been a black or melanistic panther, cougar, or mountain lion documented in the wild or in captivity.

Thank you for the correction. It was definitely a Black cat of some sort. But this cat was much larger than 20 lbs. So I am going to look up Black Jaquars. It was a beautiful animal. I hope it makes its way to a wild area, and not prey on pets in the middle of the night.

I hope it makes its way out of The Villages before somebody reports it as a threat and gets it killed.

The more I am discussing this, it seems the only correct identification is a rare black jaguar.
