*** About Black Panthers: Black panthers are melanistic variants of the leopard or jaguar, characterized by their all-black fur which results from an excess of the pigment melanin. Found in diverse habitats across Africa and Asia (leopard) and in the Americas (jaguar), these elusive creatures are adept climbers and swimmers. They often inhabit dense forests where their dark coats provide an adaptive advantage for hunting and camouflage. Despite their prominence in popular culture and folklore, black panthers are not a distinct species but rather refer to any big cat experiencing melanism. Conservation efforts are key to their survival, as their habitats face increasing threats from deforestation and human activity.:
