Cougar.jpg

The panther has a head and face like a cat, its legs are short and the paws are armed with sharp claws. It is a beast of prey of uncommon strength...Deer it is able to catch at will...It is not known that a panther has ever done the Indians injury without provocation...He must never turn his back upon the panther, thinking that he can escape.

David Zeisberger's History of North American Indians, 1779-80.
