I am from Mobile, Alabama and I have personally seen a black panther. The two other people in the car saw it also. Judging by the general size, shape, and very long tail I believe it was a black jaguar. While we were stopped at a traffic light it walked beside our car and then crossed the street in front of our car so we all got a very good look at it.
More recently my sister, her husband, and adult son, saw a black panther at the Grand Bay, AL I-10 rest stop during the daytime. They saw it walking along the back fence of the rest stop and then jump over the fence, stop and look at them, then walk across a road Into the Woods.
in my lifetime I have heard many eyewitness reports of black panther sitings in south Alabama around Mobile so I believe there is a breeding population in the area. My grandparents and great grandmother often spoke of seeing them so they have been in the area since at least the late 1800's.
I have never heard of a large spotted cat in the area, only the black variety. I would love to hear an explanation from an expert.

Is there a significance to a black panther tattoo on a National Guard soldier in from a 1960 photo?
It all depends. If it was a classic black panther tattoo where it is clawing up or down your arm, then it means nothing. If it was just the head of a black panther or a fairly cartoonish looking panther lunging at you with claws, then it very well may have been the symbol for the Black Panther Party. They organised and were created in 1966, so if it was before then, probably not. They did have a number of white people as well as others who were sympathetic to their plight and supported them, so the color of the person wearing it is fairly irrelevant.
Is a black panther is real species?
No, there are melanistic (black) forms of the leopard, jaguar, or cougar which people may consider to be a black panther but the fact is that the leopard/jaguar was born with melanistic (black) chromosomes instead of normal pigmentation chromosomes.

It's like saying the wolf isn't real, it just has many types.
