As we rounded a curve just outside of town there was a huge black cat standing in the road. I was going about 25 mph cause the road is very dark and narrow. I stopped the car and the cat just looked at us. I woke my wife and daughter so they could see it then turned my lights off for a few seconds, when I turned them back on it was gone. It was the size of a tiger with a long tail. If it wasn't a black panther then I wouldn't know what to call it. I'm very sure it was a panther. I remember it like it was yesterday

Their fur helps them not to be spotted by their prey; their only weakness is their eyes - they are most commonly Amber, but they have been known to have Green, or Blue eyes. This does not blend in with the dark night, so their prey can easily spot them, this means that they still have to use camouflage and hide.
