Almost as Fast as a Speeding Bullet

| Cougar of some variety. They are the only native North American big cat and in the East, though not extinct, they are very rare and have very reduced ranges. However, without a good way to measure the size, that's just a guess.

Caribou gorn

| "painter" as the mountain folks might say. The state tells us there are no large cats in Georgia, save for the occasional florida panther that wanders into s. georgia. I don't buy it. There are a lot of "sightings," obviously tough to verify, but I don't think there are that many people just making stuff up. My father saw one on a golf course in metro atlanta about 20 years ago and I don't believe for a second he is making it up. He has hunted all of his life and knows the difference in a 20 pound bobcat and a 60-70 lb panther, too.
