Also known as the North American Black Panther. They are assumed to be melanistic cougars (pumas with a melanin disorder causing a black sheen to their coat). Though most Biologist and large cat breeders claim they do not exist. As such their existence has not been actively searched for in any of the north American Cougar populations.
Their have been occasional rare sighting of Black Panthers in Missouri for hundreds of years. Native Missouri Indians claimed they represented death along with the crow. Though no verified photographic or scientific evidence for their existence has yet surfaced, their have been occasional and recent sighting where armature video and/or pictures(non confirmed with authorities) have been taken.
