We are talking about a Black Mountain Lion here like the topic states.
Can you turn up a genuine pic or carcass of a black mtn. lion? I'm not talking about someones escaped black phase leopard or jaguar either. Any REAL and verified black mtn. lion picture or carcass would be be fine.
I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to dig up the news footage that I was reffering to. But honestly, who here would be able to tell if it was a "Black MT. Lion" or someother type of large black cat? I wouldn't, thats why I say I don't know the breed of cat I shot at. All I know is it was very large and black and was a cat. Don't start screaming house cat either because this thing was well over 60 pounds and closer to 70-80 if I were guessing.
People scoffed at the idea of an egg laying mammal too, until they found one(platypus). Or heres one for ya, how about the idea of a venomous mammal? You guessed it,also the platypus /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif. We have all seen black coyotes and white coyotes, so why not an indigenous cat. To think that man knows about every breed or species of animal on the planet is nothing but pure arrogance. The ceolocanth "WAS" extinct, until one washed up on a beach and shocked the world. My point is this, maybe black Mt. Lion's don't exist but released exotic pets MOST CERTAINLY DO, the average person on the street who happens to see one would not be thinking "Panther" because they aren't indigenous to this country but they most likely would say that they saw a black MT. Lion because they are indigenous. They aren't crazy, they are just ignorant of the difference's between the two species(as am I). But to call some one crazy or a liar because they used the wrong word in a sentence is wrong. And to say that there is no possible way for a certain animal to be a certain color or that we know everything there is to know about wildlife biology and geneology is pure arrogance.
Do you believe in Jesus? If so, Have you ever seen him?
Please, I'm not upset. Well, maybe a little, but I've never been a fan of closed minded thinking. And I don't like it when people flame others because they may have lesser communication skills(BTW, I would fall into that category) or a lesser vocabulary.
