I find it odd that all the reference material says they is no black phase of a cougar. If a "black panther" is simply a melaninistic phase of "any" large cat, why is cougar excluded?

There is a strain of black bobcats, house cats, pumas, jaguar, lions, and cheetahs. Not sure on other cats, but why not. It's seems to be a trait in cats. Aren't pumas and cougars the same cat breed? So yes, black puma/cougar.

I completely understand that both/either are more rare and/or more prevalent in some species versus others. I just don't understand how the "experts" can say that a cougar can not be black.

It’s just that there have never been any sighted photographed or documented
