Got this sent to me this morning. Supposed to be somewhere in Holmes County. Can't say if it is really a Florida picture or not, either way it is interesting. Only details were it came from someone's cousin's game camera the last day or so. Could be a fake or could be true, but is still something most of us will never see in the woods. I'm 65 and have been in the woods most of my life and have only seen a panther 1 time. It was on the north edge of a powerline, after dark, we saw eyes first then it took 2 or 3 jumps and we saw the tan color and the long tail as it headed into a cypress strand. Tracks were not unusual and as a small boy I remember hearing panthers scream in the Little Econlockhatchee Creek swamp on the east side of Orlando. Treefarmer

Since y'all have seen this before, it is like the pics of the big gator swimming along with a deer in its
jaws. There ain't many places in florida that has that much rock on the surface like it shows in the pic. The only thing left to say is where ever it was the cat got him a good one! Treefarmer

Real pic, just not from Florida. From what I can tell from all the places it has shown up, it was in South Texas somewhere. First thing I noticed was the tail of the cat doesn't look like it has the characteristic kink (from years of in-breeding) that most Florida panthers have.

Used Tineye.com to search for the image:
