Black Panther: The Mysterious Predator of the Wild
The term black panther refers not to a separate species, but to a melanistic (dark-colored) variant of big cats, most commonly leopards ( Panthera pardus ) in Asia and Africa and jaguars ( Panthera onca ) in the Americas. These majestic creatures are known for their sleek, black coats, which make them both mysterious and visually striking. Due to their elusive nature and rare sightings, black panthers are often associated with legends, symbolism, and awe. Physical Characteristics Black panthers
