I'm pretty sure they're a subspecies. According to Wikipedia and a couple other sources they're similar to the florida panther but in a different region. But it was 2011 not 2015

I live in PA and my mom thinks she saw one in our yard a few weeks back. The only thing we can confuse it for hear is a fishercat.

Yea, they look nothing alike in size and colour. Besides they don't live in North America

I think he meant a fisher as in the North American mustelid. Still don't see how that could be confused with a cougar.

I mean the North American weasel thing. They get big. Also it was at night. I still think it was a Puma.

Also to answer about the bat, I looked up recent extinctions on wikipedia, not the greatest source but it's better than weeks of looking for something I'm just gonna post here and pay no mind to later.

The Scottish wildcat, Felis silvestris grampia, I've recently read an article claiming that genetically pure animals, of this wildcat subspecies, might be extinct. Interbreeding with domestic cats is to blame, even the "purest" Scottish wildcats kept in captivity, have 1-3% domestic cat DNA.

TBH as long as they continue to occupy their ecological niche and produce healthy individuals I don't think their precise genetics especially matter.

Indian Javan rhinoceros or Lesser Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus inermis) extinct before 1925. Some people think there is may still a small surviving population in undiscovered parts of Burma but it's highly unlikely.

It's really sad seeing how many rhinoceros subspecies have gone extinct in the last century. There are the four extinct ones mentioned here, a few more that haven't been posted, and two more that are functionally extinct.
