I know how the shadow affect can make a deer look very black and the same thing happens with many mountain lion sightings,but some of those sighting can very well be jaguars.Years ago they roamed Texas,in fact,years ago South Texas was not the brush country it is today,it was open prairie.With the whitetail and hog populations we have today,they certainly would find the habitat better than ever.One cat I saw looked black,not just black,but shiny black and the head was big.I never claimed I saw a jaguar,but in my mind,I'm not going to rule it out either.Here are a few of links about jaguars in Texas.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
