Central America is North America! We have leopards and coatamundis fairly common now in Arizona, not native but moving north. Why can't a black leopard move north?

>> I wouldn't be so quick there, just because "no on has ever CAPTURED or KILLED one..." doen't mean they could not be there. There are more exotic species of animals in TX than any other state. Why could there not be an escaped one? My wife is from TX and has seen one on their land they farmed when she was growing up, it was from a defunct circus that turned the animals loose.
