Not sure exactly what it is, but it was hungry enough to be out in daylight in a field on the side of a road. A few dozen cattle on the other side of the road. Horses and houses on the other. As the crow flies its 4-5 farms away...lol

Crazy or hungry, it's gorgeous. And deadly.

Looks like a jaguar but awfully far north of where it would be expected

If that is pic is real and in TN somebody is missing their very expensive and most likely illegal pet. IMO

Most of the dark colored ones are selectively bred for zoos and such…some do occur in nature but it's pretty rare…the northernmost part of their range is pretty much a southern strip of North America but rarely is one seen even there

Really nice cougar. They always look so miffed when they get treed.

Gotta be a Jaguar unless somebody turned loose a leopard. Hard to tell with a melanistic one. I know there were Jaguars in states adjoining Mexico but that's pretty far north for one.
Cool pic. You took it?

No, I didn't take the pic. It was posted on our town Facebook page. The person that took the pick was a realtor we bought one of our farms from about 10 years ago. He is from a well known family in these parts.

Not sure why I'm surprised that people still fall for this stuff.
Its a black jaguar, and it sure as hell didn't walk up from southern Mexico to TN. Its either captive, or perhaps an escapee.

Saw a pic of one just a bit smaller, in the same condition, from a neighbor a couple years back. He shot it while it was on his farm about a hour south of us.
