Canadian Black Panthers

Interesting sightings from Ontario:

"Black panthers are roaming around Bonfield and Rutherglen, witnesses say." ...
"John Wilson said he was driving his pickup truck down Trunk Road in Bonfield about a week ago when he spotted what he believes was a panther.
"'I saw this rabbit running straight for my truck like something was chasing it,' he said Thursday.
"'All of a sudden this black thing came out of the bush. At first I thought it was just a dog, but when it turned sideways I saw its long curvy tail,' he said." ...
"Tilson said she was skeptical about the presence of panthers in the area until her husband and several area residents confirmed what many had suspected for years.
"'A few weeks ago my husband went out in the back field to feed the horses and he said he saw something big and black,' she said.
"'At first he thought it was a bear, but it had a long tail and was about the size of our Labrador retriever. You can hear it at night, it has a loud, high pitch, like a screeching sound.'
"Tilson said when she walked over to the spot where the animal was spotted, its paw prints were as big as a 'bread and butter plate.'" (News source.)
