I read an article about this but I can't seem to find it. If I remeber corectly they say the cats are more likley to be a panther that has some how made it into the wild or area. It also said there has been no documented cases of a truly black(melanistic) mountain lion.

Yes i have seen one. I was bow hunting in NE Michigan (lower pen.) and i thought it was a black bear until i saw the tail. It freaked me out, it was about 30 yards away, at a steady run, and i couldnt hear the steps in the leaves, those things are pretty sneaky.

No. Maybe its big foot.

i aint never seen one but a friend of mine saw a black panther if that is what you are talking about
