Eastern Panthers - the "Ghost Cats"

To the residents of Blackstone, VA, panthers are an accepted part of the landscape - scary enough to keep people indoors at night. To state wildlife officials, it's another case of people mistaking other animals for a surviving population of the elusive Puma concolor. A US FIsh and Wildlife study of all Eastern panther reports is in progress, but the citizens of Blackstone don't have any doubts.
