I've wondered if it isnt a genetic mutation like the solid black whitetail deer? I have a friend that got a solid black colored coyote in east texas, is it the same mutaion or was the coyote cross bred with a dog to produce the black fur? so my theroy is: are the mountain lions starting to produce the black color gene, is it a mutation or is it realy a black jaguar? I knida think its genetics at work but would love to see a paper on the gene reserch!
