It is a joke. People are always saying they see black ones and how many black ones have you ever seen legally shot of all the lions harvested every year legally....none. If someone says they saw a black panther, they didn't. Now all you guys that claim to have seen one can let me have it.I have heard several people say that and not only in this topic and forum but other places. I'm rather confused in are y'all NO KIDDING saying a Mt Lion can only be black or makeing a joke with it? Please enlighten me before I say something I shouldn't.
