    Large black cats the size of a fox? Thats not exactly a large wild cat. My cat is almost the size of a fox.. just as well its ginger and white and not black.

    Adam what about escaped Savannah cats? Their price tag makes them rare but its still a possibility!

    That's why I'm thinking about these smaller cats rather than cougars, which are substantially larger than foxes (believe me, I've lived in cougar country).

    I thought about them too but I wasn´t sure if they came in dark color?

    And look at how big they get:

    Look at this monster:

    Again, I can easily see a black one being mistaken for a "big cat". It is certainly much bigger than your average house cat.

    The muntjac is feasible.

    Not quite so sure about the leprechaun or the panther.

    I suppose most posters here are already aware that there is no such species as a 'black panther' as such. They are in fact a melanistic variation of either the jaguar (in S. America) or the leopard (in Africa/Asia)
