Geocache Description:

There have been numerous sightings of a big cat in the region, often refered to as The Macarthur Panther. This cache series investigates some of the recent sightings of this mysterious creature.

A black panther is typically a colour variant of any of several species of larger cat. In the Americas, wild 'black panthers' may be black jaguars (Panthera onca), while in Asia and Africa, black leopards (Panthera pardus); in Asia, possibly the very rare black tigers (Panthera tigris). Smaller wild cats, like jaguarundi, may also be black.

One sighting of the Macarthur Panther near Nepean Dam 2013

Levi Brown states "I live on Avon dam road Bargo and coming home on Thursday the 7th of February as i came off the exit ramp I seen what I thought was a panther crossing the road just past the gates entry to the Nepean dam it was about 8pm and it was heading in a south direction and was moving at a fast pace but I could definitely see the typical shoulder movement of a big cat and it was all black in colour"

The cache is placed outside of the Water Catchment restricted area.

In the first six caches there is a clue regarding the possible species of this panther. Record each species with the cache name as it will be needed to find the final cache.
