Almost a year has past since we were last talking about Black Panther, and this time we’re not on about Marvel superheroes but a garden based prank that’s had a Scottish neighbourhood in a panic.
Police reports yesterday (Friday October 19) of a ‘black panther’ on the loose put Ayrshire residents on edge.
Although Hollywood execs are hardly likely to turn this into a box office blockbuster, this is a tale that’s made the small screen and the national press.
As well as the tweet, Police Scotland released a statement, a spokesman said:
Residents in Drongan and Coalhall are being advised by officers to be vigilant after a report has been received of a sighting of what is believed to be a black panther in the fields near to the B730 between the two villages.
Officers are currently working with the SSPCA to locate the animal which may be injured.
The area is popular with dog walkers so care should be taken and if anyone sees the animal we would ask you not to approach it.

Rather than get in a state of panic, people on Twitter instead opted to make light of the situation, making jokes about the ‘panther’, and a fake account belonging to the ferocious feline appeared on the platform.
One lad went a step further posting a picture to Facebook of a fake panther and in the process went viral with his hoax effort.
Robbie Brown, 18, laser cut a replica panther and posted images to social media leading too more panic from concerned residents.
He told the Scottish Sun:
I just did it for a laugh.
Everyone was talking about the other sighting so I spent ten minutes crafting one out of metal.
It got a crazy reaction on Facebook, and some people thought it was real.
Others realised it was fake because the tail was in the same position in every picture. It’s been a good laugh.

Police sources confirmed to the Scottish Sun that one member of the public contacted them in regards to the laser cut cat.
Among the 1.5k comments on Robbie’s post, titled ‘Panther spotted outside Sinclairston’, people were on the whole more forgiving and made light of the situation.
Connor and Connor could see through the fake:

Homeowners in Birmingham were left petrified after locals spotted what they said was a ‘big cat’ roaming around suburbia at night in May this year.
Dawn Paige got the ‘shock of her life’ when she caught the animal, which some believe to be a lion.
Her security cameras picked up the animal walking by her rubbish bins at her home in Oldbury, West Midlands.
Nearby Dudley Zoo, some four miles away from Dawn’s house, said it does look like ‘a big cat’ but confirmed they weren’t missing any animals from their grounds.
Dawn said:
I saw my bins had been moved and I thought it was kids messing around.
I had the shock of my life when I saw that thing come into view. I was physically shaking.
At first, I thought it must be a big dog, but it moves just like a cat.
I took the footage into work and asked some of the teachers what they thought, and they agree with me it looks like a leopard, or a she-lion.
I’ve got a little dog and I’m absolutely terrified for her safety.

A spokesman for Dudley Zoo said:
We were sent the footage and we could not positively identify what the animal was, but may have possibly been a large dog.
The UK is a seriously wild place.
