Rural WA'ian here. There's plenty of rumours of a "panther" around Nannup; no US Airmen story, it was just a really big black feral cat the size of a panther.

From what I've seen personally, feral gets can get BIG. Like mastiff-sized. So I tend to believe these rumours but take their origins with various grains of salt.
- dwd 7y agoThe origin stories should be taken with a grain of salt, but that we have cougar-sized ferals is well recorded. There was a Gippsland feral killed and DNA tested that was half as big again as a record-sized domestic cat. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-11-28/tests-reveal-super-sized-feral-cat/750340 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-11-28/tests-reveal-super-si...
