About the Blue Mountains Panther
I've been emailed with pictures of tracks of the panther. A few people I know, or have heard about, in the Blue Mountains claim to have seen it. Other people are skeptical, and claim the sightings could be large black wild dogs, or hallucinations. There have been scientific studies which concluded that the existence of the panther was at least possible, and perhaps even likely.
You can see from the photographs just exactly how real the panther is.
Over 500 sightings in 20 years have been reported of the panther.
The panther is known to visiously attack people wearing purple-coloured rugby league clothing. People wearing this kind of clothing are advised to be responsible and vacate to other Australian states which do not have the panther.
The might and mystery of the panther will endure forever.
