My name is Todd Overton. I run Overton Fisheries in the Buffalo/Centerville right on I45. We stock ponds and lakes and offer pond and lake management services. Two days ago we got 100+ pics of this black cat on one of our pond dams. The pics were taken from 150-200 yards away with a digital camera on full zoom. Tell me what you think...

The second pic makes it look like a house cat on steriods.

Honestly don't know, but I would have probably shot it and dirt checked it if a rifle was handy.... at first glance it looks pretty big, but the 6th pic looks like its only as wide a one tire lane on that pasture road.

Nothing more than a slightly big house cat, Look at it related to other stuff, pointed out nicely by mwrighin pic 6, look at pic 2/3 unless thats a four foot ledge down to the ponds then its only maybe 10-14 tall not that big.

The angle of the road makes it look bigger.

It is a normal everyday house cat.

Send the pics to TPWD and they will tell you the same thing!

Never been a confirmed picture/video or corpse of a Black Panther (AKA Black Mountain Lion) and rest assured this is not going to be the ground breaking proof!
