Here are the photos of the “black panther” seen in and around Vineland, New Jersey, from Saturday, April 28, 2007. Many local residents have seen it and after a news report appeared on local television on April 30, Monday night, police headquarters was deluged with calls. More than 30 people dialed in saying they had seen the animal during April 2007.

This animal was big, really big. It could be the size of a German shepherd. More than 80 pounds for sure. They’re saying they found a 20- to 30-pound cat in the field. But something that size would be a speck at 150 yards.eyewitness and Vineland resident Zoe Paraskevas

Panthers are not native to New Jersey. But I suppose anything is possible. We are not taking the report lightly, but at this point there’s nothing that tells us there’s a panther in the area.Department of Environmental Protection spokesperson Darlene Yuhas

What is being seen in New Jersey? You be the judge. Could a panther be around and the wrong cat have been photographed?
