I saw one when I was about 12. I rode my bicycle down an old dirt road to the stream and heard rustling
in the bushes and saw a large black cat which was slightly taller than my child bicycle. It was smaller boned
and thin. The best description by looking at photos is a black jaguar. I've seen Tigers in the zoo and it
was nowhere near that big or bulky.
It was about 5ft from me and trotted across the road into the bushes. It looked at me once and sped
up a bit, trotted off into the forest. I'm guessing it was an exotic pet that escaped or something.
Never saw it again.
