You are probably right that is more likely to be related to cougars than jaguars. I just get very curious about the whole phenomena!

I dont know much about jaguars....do you think if they made it up to Minnesota, they could survive up here?

Yep, the ones seen around here seem to be smaller boned than cougars. Its interesting that yours was seen in South Carolina because when my daughter was living with her in laws while her husband was on deployment, they talked about big black cats in the area. When I talk to my parents this week...

If it is a released or exotic pet make it less or more dangerous? But I would think the first one(s) would have had to been released a long time ago since there seems to be a breeding population? Or maybe once in a while another idiot lets another one loose.

Yeah, it makes me wonder. If thats the case, its more than one person that has released them. Maybe they have interbred with local cats. Is that even possible??? That WOULD be scary as a 9 year old coming upon the footprints. We kept an eye on my nephews the rest of the weekend when they were...

cedar post, several years ago my youngest daughter saw one around here (we live even closer to the river bottoms than my parents, and are on the edge of a very small town.) It was quite a bit bigger than the ones we have seen out at the family place and was chasing something through ours and the...

Its good to know we arent the only ones that have been seeing them. We are actually in southeastern Minnesota along the Mississippi River. There are a lot of animals live in those river bottoms. Last year people in the area saw what they at first thought was a yellow lab drinking out of their...

Nope, Sheila, thats great info. And yes, the person I talked to was almost 90 years old at the time. I do appreciate all opinions, for and against? I truly dont expect everyone to believe it. If we didnt have the experiences we have had, I might be a little skeptical....but then again, maybe...

I was thinking about it and the reason I vaguely remember the Discovery channel thing was my middle daughter was all excited about it since she felt it validated HER sighting. There is without a doubt some kind of big darker colored cat out there, whether its a dark brown cougar, jaguar, river...

I guess someone could google it but I am sure there was an article on someone shooting a very dark brown cougar? The cats we have seen around for YEARS are black though. I remember the first time one of the family members saw one, actually two, she was on a walk back to the pond and there were...

Thats interesting. I know there have been cougars sighted in the area so its not beyond the realm of possibility that there are turning out to be black (or probably actually really dark brown ones). What we have noticed though, like I said, is that they seem to fall midway between bobcats and...

Well, back from my parents and had an interesting weekend.... My nephews, age 11 and 7 were staying there was well. Yesterday my father was showing them his firearms (minus bullets of course, he always hides the guns well and doesnt keep the ammo in the same place. EVER. He never has.) when I...
