The new Geico Commercial

[Panthro]

Not in the same genus category as the Panther, Jaguar, Lion, Tiger, etc... :D

<<< not a genus

[dimbee]

<<< not a genus

This is understood. :D

[Panthro]

And most certainly not a cat genus

A black panther can be a black jaguar, leopard, or cougar.

So we have no true definition or defining character trait, then?

Sure we do: we're an over-tanned motley crew of big cats.

True story: the jaguar (and therefore the "panther") has pound-for-pound the most powerful bite of all the big cats. It's bite is as powerful as a tiger while giving up quite a bit of size to a tiger. Unlike other big cats, they kill their prey by crushing their skulls.

Maybe we should have been called "The Carolina Skull Crushers" I think it has a nice family friendly ring to it.

I remember in a documentary once on "Big Cats" (Animal Planet) they said that the Panther is the only big cat that prefers to attack its prey by getting its jaws around the head and crushing the skull. It prefers to kill instantly instead of lethally wounding or immobilizing its prey and letting it bleed out.

I thought that was cool.

[brandon_87]

Wouldn't it be cool to rent a black panther for a primetime game? Have it come out before intros.

Yea, hopefully it would be against the saints and somehow get loose....... I'm just sayin.....

I also remember hearing that jaguars (aka "panthers" when black) are the only big cats that cannot be trained... they are too unpredictable.

So long story short... we have a pretty cool mascot, now we just need a Lombardi trophy.

The Panther is the best mascot in the league. I mean if you wanna get into who would win mascot vs mascot in a real life scenario the panther stands a good chance against most of the others. That's one reason why I like it so much, it is so formidable from a mental standpoint and serves as a good tenacious mentality for the players.

Beast of Bladenboro In 1954, Bladenboro received national attention for several mysterious animal killings, mostly of dogs and livestock, in the area. The animals had broken jaws and had been drained of blood in a fashion not unlike the supposed attacks of Chupacabra. However, sightings describe the attacker as favoring a cat or wolf which led to the local legend known as the "Beast of Bladenboro."[3] In 2008, the History Channel television series Monster Quest performed an analysis concerning these attacks, which were beginning to happen again, and concluded that the attacker might have been a cougar.

^ Copied from Wikipedia........Folks in that area report seeing large "Black Cats" through the years....For those outside the Carolinas, Bladenboro is a small rual community in SE NC.
