GRAPEVINE/COLLEYVILLE - That black panther seen roaming around northeast Tarrant County is really getting around. The panther showed up in Argyle last Sunday [Aug 30 1998] , and now a woman in Fort Worth says she saw the big cat. The woman says she spotted the panther roaming on Marine Creek Parkway as she drove to work Thursday morning [Sept 3 1998]. Police and animal control officers spent the morning searching for the black panther, but never found anything. If they do find it, officers plan to tranquilize the cat and take it to a safe area.

GRAPEVINE/COLLEYVILLE - Animal control officers say they may be on the lookout for two panthers. A panther and possibly a cub are somewhere in the Grapevine/Colleyville area.
Robert Clements spotted the black panther Monday morning. It was near a culvert, a few feet from the playground at Ashmore Park in Colleyville. Clements says, 'He looked like somebody's house cat. But it was big, had a long tail, probably 30 inches long. Pretty cat.'
Clements only saw one panther, but animal control officers say, according to their tracking expert, there may also be a cub. Colleyville Animal Control Official Debbie Wallis says, 'He found tracks, double set of tracks. We have no confirmed sighting of the baby other than we know there's tracks.' And if there's a cub, Wallis says, 'There's no such thing as Immaculate Conception so there's gotta be a male cat out there somewhere, if there's a baby.'
