The Legendary Iwakta Panther is a species of animal found in Red Dead Online.
It only spawns during Harriet Davenport's Legendary Animal Sighting missions after the player reaches rank 5 in The Naturalist role.
Description[]
This panther has territory near Braithwaite Manor. Nearby residents have described its bright spotted coat. It is known for attacking other animals as well as lone laborers. While those on the manor are afraid to wander too far, poachers have taken a keen interest. However, this panther is cunning. It will take a well-trained eye to track its movements.[1]
Crafting[]
After hunting and killing the panther, the player can sell the pelt to Gus Macmillan and he will craft it into garments.

Trivia[]
- The term "panther" doesn't refer to any singular specific animal, but rather is a general term used to refer to either the Florida Panther (Puma concolor couguar), which is a population of cougars (Puma concolor), or melanistic individuals of other big cats like the jaguar (Panthera onca) and leopard (Panthera pardus). The icon for the Iwakta Panther in the player's Animal Field Guide shows the likeness of a jaguar. Additionally, the animal's in-game appearance shows it to have an orangish-golden coat with black spots that transition into rosettes that are characteristic of a jaguar.
- The Iwakta Panther can only be found in Lemoyne, an in-game state based on real-life Louisiana. The last recorded cougar sighting in Louisiana was in 2016 caught on a trail cam. This was the first time a cougar had been seen in the state since 2011 and there had been very few sightings before that with DNA results suggesting the animals had originated from other states and had migrated in.
- An article from 1886 documented a big cat killing cattle in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. The animal was referred to as an "American tiger" rather than a "panther" or cougar, and was reportedly 8 ft (2.4 m) long and weighed 250 lbs (118 kg), which made it far too large to be a cougar. The name "American tiger" had been formerly used for jaguars, and at least the weight of the animal is possible for a jaguar; however, the article does not mention a spotted coat so it is not 100% certain whether or not the animal was a North American jaguar.
- Additionally, North American jaguars were said to have ranged as far northeast as Louisiana.[2]
