Black Panther at Dale Hollow, Ky
by Patricia Shelley
(Cumberland County, Ky)
We lived close to the Ky state park, Dale Hollow. About 30 years (1981) ago my young son and I was driving home when we watched a Black Panther cross the road.
As I watch trying to get a handle on what I’d just saw my two year said “Cat” and shook his head yes!

Note: Black panther in this context means a melanistic mountain lion, cougar or puma (all the same cat species).
