Treed one with a dog just outside of Grapevine Arkansas back in 1975. Couldn't bring myself to kill it. Another hunter in the area, Robert Reynolds had treed several in the big swamps in that part of Arkansas as well.
Has anyone ever hunted and killed one of these things down south? Id love to come down from Pennsylvania just to do that and then drag it into DNR's office and say HERES YOUR PROOF! Even trapping it would do
Black panthers are also reported as cryptids in areas such as the United States and the United Kingdom, and if these do exist, their species is not known. Captive black panthers may be black jaguars, or more commonly black leopards.
A black panther is typically a melanistic color variant of any of several species of larger cat. Wild black panthers in Latin America are black jaguars (Panthera onca), in Asia and Africa they are black leopards (Panthera pardus), and in North America they may be black jaguars or possibly black cougars (Puma concolor – although this has not been proven to have a black variant), or smaller cats.[1][2] From Wikipedia
Great shot. I saw in washington state near Mt Vernon above Seattle. I talked to a game warden about it and he said one in ten thousand cougars might be black. amazing.
"GASP...that's a black panther idnit?!" WEELLLL NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!! It's fucking BLACK...and it's a PANTHER...THANK YOU!! Captain fuckin obvious..lmao..i shouldnt be surprised...it is Arkansas after all...
Wow, 65k in views...thanks to everyone looking! Just as a repeat to one of my original posts, I sent some reference pictures of myself, in this same field, in roughly the same location as the cat, to a friend of mine who is a statistical mathematician. He crunched the numbers and he and I both believe that the animal in this video, is indeed a melanistic jaguar.
@orcish1982There seems to be a wood pile or possibly a bush at the lower left side of the frame....the cat is standing between that and the first line of trees. If that's a housecat...what on earth do you feed it ? It's huge. Like I stated earlier.. I know a family of devout Christians and avid hunters who live about 20 miles north of Clarksville,Ar. (my home) and they ALL swear to have seen a black panther (more than once) on their property.
@TheMossTalon Wow Im from that neck of the woods.....I got to school at Henderson but Ive lived close by my whole life. My grandpa has seen one too....crazy.
A few people on here think it's a bear, but I see a fat cat (probably someone's 'pet') with pointy ears and a long tail 0:02, 0:07 and 0:19. In fact at 0:19 he kinda reminds me of batman with those ears. Cool video!
And the standard reply from parks and wildlife. "There are NO black such things as black panthers" and they tell you you miss identified it was probably black bear. Well I guess they are gonna have to come up with another line now that everyone has video cameras.
Ive seen this before in vesta out by the woods in 2007. I know many other who live out there who have seen it before. obviously its not a dog, the tail is too long its down past the ground. There is plenty of wooded areas around here for it to be in most of the time. That looks too big to be just a cat. There are many people who own exotic animals around here.
idk y people are so skeptical there are black panthers in AR my grampa was stalked on his way home from work way back in the day when they were more abundant and when you still had to walk home from work lol
some people I swear are you afraid there might be something out there you can't explain. I walked up on one in broad daylight In Waldron AR. at our pond believe me it was no bear or was it fake....................
The person filming this sounds like a teen, O'kay, so we can dismiss this as being real. Now, for this "panther" to be there it would need a mama and a daddy panther, were are they? For the mama and papa to not be inbreeds they would need their own set of parents which, not including the one in the film, would bring the # up to 6. What of their parents, parents ? that's another 4. If there was many they would have been hit by cars or shot by hunters. Don't say it was released into the wilds
Hey I don not believe this is a Jaguar. What I believe you are seeing there is a Black Leopard. There are people who own these guys in the states so probs an escapee or some one got fed up with it and turned it loose maybe. Its to high in the leg and slim for a Jauguar, as they are more thick set and heavy if that makes sense? Shame you could not keep the camera still? I know its hard when you zoom in. Nice video though
If this is Arkansas, it's not completely impossible for this to be a black jaguar...you gotta remember that a jaguar's natural range used to stretch from South America all the way to the southern portions of the United States, Arkansas included. No mystery, no witchy supernatural stuff...it's simply a once native species that's trying to return to it's ancestral home. The fact that there are sightings like this should be looked at as a miracle rather than empty headed screams about monster cats

i love big cats and i fear i missed my chance of ever seeing one i missed it by about 15 minutes my family seen it in there camp but i had just left when it showed up oh i was sick when i got the phone call
black panthers in the south are of the jaguar species...migrating upward from central america, i.e. mexico primarily. they are know to hunt and kill humans ,livestock, and wild large game.they are fearless when cornered or hunting...so please be careful
I live in Arkansas and know several honest Christian people who are avid hunters.Many of them will put their hand on the Good Book and swear they've seen these black panthers. I have absolutely no reason to doubt their word.
Not a black panther you dumb bitch. Look at the pointed ears and it acts just like a house cat. Its a house cat. It doesnt look that big. Perhaps a large house cat/
i don't understand how this is so hard to believe. it could be pretty obvious that someone had illegally obtained one of these beautiful animals and just let it go when it got out of hand. i'm sure there are many other wild cats like this in the wild in similar situations.
Wow i went online to look up black panthers in arkansas cuz my dad saw one in our back yard in the woods, he said it was real big it was no domestic cat
I live in Van Buren, AR near Alma. I have an 80 acre farm. While filming my deer I got pictures of this black panther on my deer cam twice. In october 2009 we saw him with our own eyes. My email is meandeddy@gmail.com. I will the exact location closed, but will be willing to share with you some pics of this cat!
I dont know why in the hell nobody thinks black panthers are in North America. There is evidence right in this video. Everybody says they are domestic cats, thats bullshit, that is way to big. And i was in oklahoma and i heard a screaming sound in the woods and the next morning hen i went walking i found some big ass cat prints, almost the size of my hand.
Ill tell you what now. In the area I grew up in, mountian lion and panther sightings are an everyday experience. And these here creature are not that bad. They arent as mean as people depict them to be. Shit, I had one about 3 years ago walk right up to my front porch where I was smoking a cigg, he just looked up at me and kept on walking. They dont mind humans at all as long as you dont get all defensive with them. But if its mating season, stay as far away as possible cause they get pissed.
Wild black panthers in Latin America are black jaguars, in Asia and Africa they are black leopards, and in North America they may be black jaguars or possibly black cougars and black panthers. all terms are accepted even though there are no authenticated cases of truly melanistic cougars.
ive seen this same type of cat two times in texas once in the mid 90's and once in 2004 i know several people who have seen a big black cougar in our area in the past
Many scientists say that black mountain lions don't exist, but the way I see it is that melanism has occurred in many other species of cat, why couldn't it occur in cougars? Just because you have never seen a proven black cougar doesn't mean they don't exist.
@Jwb188 Same with Bigfoot and the Yeti. There has never been one photographed or captured. And aslong this does not happen, they don't exist. But i doubt that this is a cougar, looks more like a jaguar for me. Cougars have been shot and captured for hundred of years now, there has NEVER been a black one. All species of cats, that have melanism individuals, have them from beginning of their existance. Melanism is no desease, wich comes up some day.
@ShinyPikachu101 These videos have always been prooven to be fake or someone in a "bigfoot mask" made a joke. But maybe you could send me a link to a video that prooves the existance of Bigfoot? I doubt, that there is something like Bigfoot or a Yeti out there. It's simply impossible, that such a big animal could live unnoticed today. Strange is, that there are a lot of videos of "hobby naturals", but there was never a serious expidition that found evidence of their existance.
Wow, in order to draw that kind of conclusion you must be an expert across numerous fields, from animal biology to ecology. It's an honor to enter the presence of a scholar and scientist of such magnitude.
@Jcolinsol Ha, you don't need to be an expert to know this. You just need to be able to READ. You believe in Big Foot? Haha, do you also believe in Illuminati ruling the world? Elvis living on the moon, or Aliens visiting earth regulary? Get some education and such things become laughable. For the uneducated, Big Foot is something exiting.... For the rest, it's a laughable lie
No, I was just praising an obvious expert in the field. Wait, was I wrong, are you not an expert qualified to make informed statements about the subject? I'm terribly sorry.
@Jcolinsol No, you were talking bullshit. Thats all. Wich of my statements did you dislike, or wich was wrong? You have any scientific proof of Big foot? Or melanism cougars? No? So, why do you waste my time with useless shit?
I must extend my most profound contrafibularities at having caused such pericombobulation. You see I mistook you for a learned expert on the subject. I guess you're just a guy with opinions.
@VpR81 Sooo...the professors who get out of their comfortable chairs and the many Rangers and zoologists are uneducated? Also, you should use spellcheck when bragging about how "educated" you are. Exiting???
@Tralman1965 huhu... i'm sorry, that english isn't my native language and i've never learned it at school. therefore, i learned another 2 languages in school and i bet, you don't even know a single word in my native language. And even if, you wont be able to spell or even pronounce it.... So far for education... And for Big Foot , since we have infrared satelites, night vision deer cameras and millions of dollar spent for research... You realy think such a big creature could survive unspotted?
@VpR81 um yes, in a city I grew up we had a sizable poipulation of deer in the middle of the city that learned to lay low in the day, as for satellites etc, they cannot see everything it is a myth, I lived in the us, and not everything is under surveliance, there are huge pathches of land. People get animals and drop them off, is a breeding population probably not, but large cat reports in the US are not uncommon,
Interesting video you have here...I live in southeastern Missouri and stories of big black cats in the US fascinate me. I know people in my area here(right on the Arkansas border) who have seen big black cats. My view on the matter is this, it is either a melanistic (aka black colored) mountain lion (or cougar what ever you choose to call them)...or a case of misidentification.
Many yrs ago the native range of jaguars, now only found as far north as Mexico, used to reach into the southern and southwestern states. I live in AR, and we do have wild cats here--bobcats and panthers/mountain lions/pumas (all the same, whatever u prefer to call them). Its not inconceivable to have a black jaguar here, most its most likely escaped or been let out of captivity.
@stelmoray jaguars live in arizona and why can animals not wonder around and follow rivers and streams and things we have large black cats here im cuious to know what kind
In 2005 I came within inches of accidentilly hitting a panther in Virginia! It was night time but it was moving so fast across the road I only saw it out of one eye. I don't remember the route number of the road, but the road runs north/south (I was heading north) through the Great Dismal Swamp in Chesapeake, VA. I will never forget that and I'm glad I didn't hit it!
On second viewing this beginning to look like a composite of 2 separate pieces film.Nicely done if so. I do believe big cats arevbeing introduced though under the UNs Wild-lands project...
@JoelVmo Panthera is a family name, it encompasses leopards, lions, tigers and jaguars. The funny thing is that cougars and cheetahs are not part of the family, but a black cheetah or cougar is still a black panther.
@psychedashell There actually have been no confirm sighting of of black cheetahs or cougars. But there have been of black bobcats. The reason cougars and cheetahs are not incluede in this family is that they lack the hyloid process that allow them to roar. Leopards, Jaguars, Lions and Tiger roar.
@LadyLion81281 Confirmed is sometimes a bit hard to get, but I've seen a king cheetah in a zoo, so if it's possible to get enormous spots on a cheetah I'm willing to believe that completely black is possible too.
@psychedashell Oh I know confirmed is hard to get and I agree that melanism in this animals is possible. I live in CT and at one point Cougars roamed the area. There have been people who reported hearing Cougars scream but the USDA and AWF won't believe them unless they have been tagged. Unfortunately cougars can be extremely elusive.
@htslittleman Cougar is just another name for the Puma or Mountain Lion, so in some people's minds it's another animal. The Guiness book of record puts it as the animal with the most names, it would be interesting to see just how many it does have.
@JoelVmo technically there is no such thing as a black panther. It a collective name for Melanisic Leopards and Jaguars. Both of these cats are from the Panthera family of cats.
about all these sightings of black cats and are they black panthers and what not and he said the game warden told him that whenever someone tells him about seeing a big black cat that he just tells them they're crazy. But he told the dentist that in fact they are actually some kind of cat thats related to the jaguar family thats been imported over here to help control the deer population and they are rarely seen out in the day they are nocturnal animals.
now that there was this huge jet black cat with these glowing yellow eyes, laying croutched down in the ditch about 15 or 20 yards staring right at me. I was shocked of course, I didn't know that there were cats like that in North America so I foolishly started to walk towards it and it ran off down the ditch. I live in Tennessee now and I was talking to my dentist about it the other day and he says he knows a guy that comes in often and he's a game warden, and he asked him about what he thinks
I used to live in Jacksonville, Arkansas, and where we lived there was a field in front of the house and a forest beyond that and there was a trench that was dug to divide the forest and the field; well it was late afternoon maybe 5ish, the sun was still out, I was walking through the field talking on the phone to some girl and I came to the trench and was staring off into the woods and something caught my eye to my right, so I turned and looked and I promise on my life as sure as I'm here right
you should post the pictures. there have been a lot of evidence of big cats on petit jean mountain. they typically have a very large range, my memory is 70miles
i saw a black panther in north carolina. I heard something screaming, sounded like a woman getting stabbed so i got my spotlight and went into the woods and it jumped out of a creekbed and looked at me. 40 yards away, biggest cat ive ever seen. ive heard stories of them but never did i believe them until my own encounter
ok i feel its hard to tell wether its fake or real.im going to say its not a black panter or cat for that matter. UNLESS its an escapee, why would theyre be a black panter in arkansas? if it is in fact a black panter, its not a wild one. i doubt very much that its a mountain lion considering the fact that a black puma/mountain lion has never been seen or documented. im not buying this. sorry
#1 thing in faking a video is making is super shaky
#2 this feline behave exactly like a house cat, NOTHING like a wild cat
Fake, Fake, Fake
melanism - black, is more rare in the wild than albinism - white
black panthers are color phase mountain lions, or black phase jaguars. although there was a 1990's confirmed jaguar in Az treed by houndsman, there hasn't been a confirmed since and never in Arkansas
if that really was a panther, you'd be dead or it'd run off. so no, i dont think its a panther mostly because it's just sat there. bet its nothing but a black labrador.
@xKamehameha Not if it was somebody's pet. Sadly, people illegally sneak exotic animals into the U.S. all the time. They're cute and cuddly when they're babies, but most of the time they get to be too much for the "owner" to handle, and they're turned loose to fend for themselves. I have no doubt that the cat in this video is real, but I do seriously doubt that it's wild.
I believe this...there actually used to be and could still be a subspecies of Jaguar that was known as the Arizona Jaguar. It was believed to be extinct but some people think that the few sights of Jaguar (black and spotted) may be a small population that lived. Interesting note, in Leopard the black gene is recessive but in Jaguar, the black gene is dominant.
i live in southeast arkansas... there have been a pair of panthers spotted on the land where i hunt. the landowners spent the day today setting out camera after camera trying to get a better look at them. growing up in arkansas, i always heard stories of panthers around here, but have never actually seen one (though i've heard one "scream" before)... i have no doubt that they exist (black jaguar, mountain lion, panther, cougar... or whatever you want to call it)! nice video clip!
acting or not fake or not i dont care i beleive there is lots of evidence 2 prove that melanistic leopard / jaguar are in the us australia and british isles. their is one known escapee leopard on the loose now in germany
I was born in the norternmost part of alberta, canada. I have 6 older brothers, 5 of which all swear they saw a black panther one night on the acreage we had there. They went to the house to get their guns, much to our eldest sister's/babysitter's dismay(a pellet gun and a 22. lol, the oldest was like 15) so they could shoot it and have proof. Prob. luckily for them they failed to track it in the dark, but they showed my dad the tracks the next day.
I live in Northwest Arkansas. Lat night, I pulled into my driveway about an hour after dark. I was talking to a friend on my cell phone when I noticed 4 deer walking through my backyard. I was still talking to my friend when something else caught my eye. I looked back and underneath my security light, on the same path the deer took, was a HUGE COAL BLACK cat that I would estimate weighed between 75-100 lbs. I watched it for a couple of seconds until it dissapeared into the brush.
No people, it's not a panther. A REAL panther would soon have hundreds of traps set for it, poison meat/food left in likey places, hunters with tracking dogs after it. If it was anything larger than a house cat humans would already have killed it.
@carcano38 You also have to understand that there are some crazy ass people in this world who obtain exotic animals and keep them in their houses/backyards without other people noticing. especially in such heavily wooded countryside areas, and its definitely not unusual in this day and age for those animals to escape.
@carcano38 You can't kill panthers you idiot. That is a real panther. They're all over the southeast, I've even seen one in south Alabama. That is real. If I was the lady taping this as soon as I saw it I would be hauling ass the other way.
@jstrick114 their scream is absolutely terrifying it will raise the hair up on the back of your neck and give you cold chills like you wouldnt believe even armed with a shotgun i know from experience and i never go in the woods without a gun
@carcano38 they are real and there are more than a few i think they are multiplying again jaguar use to cover the southern part of the countinental u.s. until farmers and ranchers pushed them back down in mexico but they have moved back into arizona now
I live near West Fork in NW Arkansas. Before the new highway was built coming from Fort Smith to Fayetteville, I heard one of these panthers late at night. They howl with a very distinct and LOUD screech. My grandfather used to tell me of hearing panthers when they would coon hunt with the dogs. The dogs were always terrified when they sensed something like this.
BTW, good snap shot of the cat. I knew they were around, but have only heard one.
I'm from Alabama and I have seen 2 black panthers while hunting. I have also seen a deer hung over a lmb 20 feet above the ground, the only thing that can do that is a big cat.The cat in this video is def not a house cat. This is a big cat. Makes you scared to walk in the woods at night.
100% genuine black leopard not a hous cat at all.this is huge ,,you can tell by the scale compared to the pile of logs. all you troll saying it a house cat ,need to study big cats alot more...well done for filming this.most people would have ran a mile...
I'm from AR....If this were real......1 of the next would have occured....The person you were talking to would have shot it, You all would have called someone who would come shoot it or the vehicle driving down the road would have pulled over and shot it lol....It would be on someones wall......BTW.....I have trail cam photos of a large Mt. Lion that i summited to AGFC and they still stick to their original 1994 study that " Large Predatory cats do not live in AR, they migrate".....
@JoHouse9573 b.s. they do theyve been in tennessee for at least 60 years i know my grandmother has had them follow her as a little girl and shot at them over her chickens and there have been at least a dozen people in my town alone that have seen them two of them by my step dad mom and little brother and several other people were there
"Panthers" are Jaguars in the Americas but they are very rare in the USA. This video is awesome. Big kitties are awesome. You are so lucky to have seen this guy for real.
THis video shows a black housecat. Why is it so grainy and shaky? All these people claim to see these black mutant panthers but this is not evidence. Not a single black panther (Jaguar with melonistic features) has been verified in the US. However in Arizona they captured a Jag from south America. This is a housecat.
Cougars don't have a black melanistic variant, but jaguars do and there has been footage taken of jaguars making their way back into North America. Check out the Arizona footage on this site.
@stevenhamlin1000 and if you dont have a light on them youll never know their there youll never hear them or see them in the dark unless they want you to they can sneak into you campsite even with a part wolf and german sheppard mixed dog not 20 feet away and she was the only thing that eventually alerted them that this big cat was in the camp and she wouldnt even start to mess with it
Despite what the government tells us - they do exist over here in the UK - I have seen one 4 times in Surrey, 3 times with somebody else including one with my wife at dusk and we lit it up witha a 400,000 candle power spotlight and had a good look at its yellow eyes reflecting back before it disappeared into the countryside and try starting at one in the beam of a mini maglight whist out shooting and getting one approach you to find out what you are !!! - these things are an escaped pet !!
I saw a black panther with my friend late 1 night in are neighborhood a few years ago we live in Louisville ky it was fucking insane it jerked it's head and mugged us with Its glowing eyes and dipped
I live in Arkansas, and trust me, this is not a fake, I along with many others have seen these massive cats! There is a natural stream that sets about 30 feet from my back door, and late at night, racoons come up on my deck and eat the cat food, cats do not seem to mind, about a month ago, we heard a horrible sound and there was a cat like this on our deck eatting. Scared the crap out of my wife!
@SirRagdaddy We have a cabin near Winslow . Went out to look at the stars with our 2 dogs one evening and they just froze in their tracks--next thing we heard was a very loud cat scream ! I will never forget that. It was awesome and scary too.
That creature is pretty large. Google search: Franklin County Crypto zoo,
There are some articles about unidentified creatures that look like a cross between a bear and a panther, almost like hyenas. People have been attacked apparently.
Thanks for all the comments. Shortly after I posted this video, I had posted a link to this video up on the Monster Quest boards, since they had a show about black cats in the US. Between a knowledgeable respondent there, and a friend of mine who is a statistical mathmatician, it was determined, or I should say, that it is believed, that this is actually a jaguar. Scientists have said that these cats have been traveling from the Central/South America region and heading north.

The person filming this sounds like a teen, O'kay, so we can dismiss this as being real. Now, for this "panther" to be there it would need a mama and a daddy panther, were are they? For the mama and papa to not be inbreeds they would need their own set of parents which, not including the one in the film, would bring the # up to 6. What of their parents, parents ? that's another 4. If there was many they would have been hit by cars or shot by hunters. Don't say it was released into the wilds

Hey I don not believe this is a Jaguar. What I believe you are seeing there is a Black Leopard. There are people who own these guys in the states so probs an escapee or some one got fed up with it and turned it loose maybe. Its to high in the leg and slim for a Jauguar, as they are more thick set and heavy if that makes sense? Shame you could not keep the camera still? I know its hard when you zoom in. Nice video though

If this is Arkansas, it's not completely impossible for this to be a black jaguar...you gotta remember that a jaguar's natural range used to stretch from South America all the way to the southern portions of the United States, Arkansas included. No mystery, no witchy supernatural stuff...it's simply a once native species that's trying to return to it's ancestral home. The fact that there are sightings like this should be looked at as a miracle rather than empty headed screams about monster cats

They dont mind humans at all as long as you dont get all defensive with them. But if its mating season, stay as far away as possible cause they get pissed.

Many scientists say that black mountain lions don't exist, but the way I see it is that melanism has occurred in many other species of cat, why couldn't it occur in cougars? Just because you have never seen a proven black cougar doesn't mean they don't exist.

@Jwb188 Same with Bigfoot and the Yeti. There has never been one photographed or captured. And aslong this does not happen, they don't exist. But i doubt that this is a cougar, looks more like a jaguar for me. Cougars have been shot and captured for hundred of years now, there has NEVER been a black one. All species of cats, that have melanism individuals, have them from beginning of their existance. Melanism is no desease, wich comes up some day.

Many yrs ago the native range of jaguars, now only found as far north as Mexico, used to reach into the southern and southwestern states.

Its not inconceivable to have a black jaguar here, most its most likely escaped or been let out of captivity.

@psychedashell There actually have been no confirm sighting of of black cheetahs or cougars. But there have been of black bobcats. The reason cougars and cheetahs are not incluede in this family is that they lack the hyloid process that allow them to roar. Leopards, Jaguars, Lions and Tiger roar.

Thanks for all the comments. Shortly after I posted this video, I had posted a link to this video up on the Monster Quest boards, since they had a show about black cats in the US. Between a knowledgeable respondent there, and a friend of mine who is a statistical mathmatician, it was determined, or I should say, that it is believed, that this is actually a jaguar. Scientists have said that these cats have been traveling from the Central/South America region and heading north.
