TRP: Free of political butthurt since 1999.

Re: TRP: Free of political butthurt since 1999.

Did you know... groundhogs and woodchucks are the same thing? I did not.
 
Re: TRP: Free of political butthurt since 1999.

I do, actually, but I think I was older than you are when I learned it.

I knew that too, somehow. Same with mountain lion, puma, panther, and catamount, being the same animal. Rather strange, our language. ;)

I don't think panther belongs in that grouping... Panthers are the same/similar to jaguars, and are larger, more vicious, and extremely illusive. Also, they aren't found in North America. Mountain Lions, Puma, Catamounts, Cougars are all the same thing, and are found in North America.

I prefer to call them whistlepigs (which I've never heard used, but read it once and found it was the same as groundhog/woodchuck).

You can find Florida Panthers in North America, though as you allude to, sightings are extremely rare (endangered species).

The Florida panther is tawny brown on the back and pale gray underneath. It is one of 32 Puma concolor subspecies known by many names – puma, cougar, mountain lion, painter, catamount and panther.

I would argue that a "Florida Panther" is not the same thing as a Panther. When I think of a Panther, I am thinking of a black, or leopard print large cat, found in the jungles of South America.

Isn't a panther just a jaguar with a different coat? Or do I have that backwards?
 
Re: TRP: Free of political butthurt since 1999.

I think the issue here is that people in different parts of the world call a jaguar a panther, while others call a cougar a panther. A Florida panther to me is a puma, cougar, mountain lion, etc. Panthers in central and South America are probably jaguars. Not a scientific categorization at all, just how I have it. :)

Yeah, I believe you are correct. Also agree with SoH. My point is, I consider a Panther/Jaguar to be a South American jungle cat.

Just because Brent is being a clod, that should have a NSFW tag.

Some of us work in civilized quarters. But thanks for your consideration.

Our company doesn't officially allow internet usage outside of official business use (re: our website). Ease up, homey. Not sure on what definitely constitutes NSFW outside of nudity/language, of which this pic really has none. Everything is covered.
