July 26, 201214 yr The wisps I could grow on my back, thank you very much! At least you don't have a 'fro on your back. GREAT! This conversation has given me a mental image I REALLY don't need. :eek:
July 27, 201214 yr Are you saying I am wrong!?The big cats around the lake area are actually of the panther family..
July 27, 201214 yr :lol::lol::lol: Too Funny...I just put it on FB, just to get my friends down here on Lake Cumberland going.
July 27, 201214 yr I've never heard of fresh water sharks in lakes anywhere near this far north. There are 6 species of what are called river sharks. The Ganges and the Speartooth are the only 2 I have ever heard of in US waters. Mostly in the southern Mississippi and a handful of lakes. The other shark that will penetrate fresh water is the Bull shark, but it can't stay in fresh water long term, it has to go back to the ocean. I won't say it's impossible, because they are adaptable creatures, but I can't see them surviving in the cold water here.
July 27, 201214 yr I lived in Somerset for most of my 45 years, never heard of this... But as Abraham Lincoln said, "If it's on the Internet it must be true"
July 27, 201214 yr The big cats around the lake area are actually of the panther family.. Same thing, right? The cougar (Puma concolor), also known as puma, mountain lion, mountain cat, catamount or panther, depending on the region, is a mammal of the family Felidae, native to the Americas. This large, solitary cat has the greatest range of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere,[3] Cougar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
July 27, 201214 yr I never heard anything about the shark attacks let alone a shark being in cumberland.
July 27, 201214 yr On a serious note there have been Sturgeon and Catfish found in Lake Cumberland that have scared divers out of the water.

Very widespread range and quite an array of names throughout their range.
July 27, 201214 yr Yep, same animal. Very widespread range and quite an array of names throughout their range. Thanks former, but I still want cammando to admit I was right and he was wrong.
July 27, 201214 yr Thanks former, but I still want cammando to admit I was right and he was wrong. I'll at least agree that we are both right.. But the big cats ARE plentiful around the lake. I've seen them on numerous occasions.
July 27, 201214 yr Are you saying I am wrong!? Yes. I'm saying no mountain lions, yeti, or sharks in or around lake Cumberland.
