John Campbell is a nightly current affairs show here in New Zealand and it regularly features paranormal related stories.
Last nights show had a story about The black panther of Canterbury which is in New Zealand, I missed it because of work but luckily they put the video of the segment up on their site, you can view the Black Panther segment here. I'm not sure how long they keep videos archived so that link may be redundant in a couple months.
The video is about a couple of uni students who are studying and putting together a documentary about the black panther, the video shows a few pictures of big cats and has accounts from a few people who have spotted the big cats themselves.
I think that a Black Panther roaming the Canterbury Back country could be plausible, it's got some big forests, plenty of birds to eat and it's a huge area of the country.
Some of the theories mentioned in the video about how it may have been introduced were giant feral cats like the reports in Australia, escaped animals from zoos etc, abandoned exotic pets or introduced way back when, by the settlers.
I really don't know which theory I like the best.
