New Black Panther Video

Published July 16, 2008 08:59 pm – Galena, Kansas — Galena police are seeking the help of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks to determine if the animal caught on a video surveillance camera at a local business is a cougar or some other large cat, or a common house cat.

Bulletin: Surveillance video captures cougar or large house cat w/ surveillance video taken at Allied Waste Services.

The video was taken at Allied Waste Services at 2:32 a.m. on Saturday, July 5. The company is located on old Route 66, east of Galena, but still in Kansas.

The video shows a dark, feline figure walking with a fence in the background and a trash container in the foreground. The cat stops briefly to sniff or lick something on the pavement before continuing out of the camera view.

Police officer Jerry Dannels was among those viewing the video Wednesday at the Galena Police Station who thought it was a cougar or other large cat, pointing out the muscle tone visible in the video and the cat’s neck.

What are needed are some videos of domestic cats at this same location, showing the rather apparent shoulder musculature compared to off-site puma footage, now don’t we?
