Editing Black panther (section)

==Cougar==
There is no authenticated case of a truly melanistic [[cougar]]. No specimen has been photographed or killed in the wild, nor has it ever been bred in captivity. Unconfirmed sightings known as the "North American black panther" are currently attributed to errors in species identification by non-experts, and by the [[mimesis|mimetic]] exaggeration of size.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Holbert|first1=C. |date=2002 |title=Stranded in the Wasteland: Literary Allusion in The Sharpest Sight |journal=Studies in American Indian Literatures |volume=14 |issue=1 |page=3|jstor=20737121 }}</ref><ref>{{citation|first=Chester|last=Moore, Jr.|title=Black Cougars Don't Exist!|url=https://fishgame.com/2020/01/black-cougars-dont-exist/|work=fishgame.com|date=January 2020}}</ref>{{clarify|reason=species misidentification of *what*? exaggeration of size of *what*? cougars are bigger than leopards, but jaguars are bigger than cougars. if a black panther were to be in North America, and it wasn't a cougar, twould be a jaguar - and thus bigger thana cougar|date=July 2021}}
