He’s already googled it. This is straight off TPW website.

Could it possibly be an ocelot? I have seen them twice on the bank at Fayette County Reservoir.

Dubee, I’m going to blow your mind here but back in the 70’s Conoco’s Conquisti project which was a uranium mining operation dug two out of a deep cave on the corner of Karnes and Wilson counties. Not knowing what they were they were killed. One of them was taxidermied and to this day hangs in mule skinners bar on the county line. I drank many a beer looking at that ugly thing and most of my family worked for Conoco back when this happened and had first hand knowledge. The owner of that bar finally died but I’m sure it’s still there. And before you say it was mis identified I predator hunt year round for nuisance animals and have killed a bunch. I have never personally called one in which makes me think those were the last two around there.

I've predator hunted my whole life. Killed dozens of bobcats, two mountain lions, and 100's of feral cats. At noon one day, in Coleman county, a jaguarundi stopped in the middle of the road 20 yards in front of me. I was sober, and had three three soberish witnesses with me.

My guess is they are more widespread than we think and cause the majority of "black panther" claims.

99% of people could not differentiate between a black panther, a black jaguar, a black cougar, or a black mountain lion.
Because the Carolina Panthers have a black panther on their stadium and helmets, people will just say black panther.

Lol

To be clear, killed a bunch of nuisance animals not Jaguarundi. And by the way I bow hunted Laguna Atascosa for about 10 years. Saw quite a few Ocelots and even had one curl up and sleep under my stand one day.
Incredible animals.

Jaguarundi aren't"still around" because they have never been around there. There have only been 5 documented jaguarundi in Texas. The. Last one was in 1986 and all 5 were in 2 counties in the very southern tip of Texas. They require a very specific habitat.
