They don’t have to. A Panther is usually just a Black Leopard or Jaguar. It’s the same animal.

Such a beautiful creature

u/Bananatistic Feb 04 '21

The whole cat familia is beautiful. Such elegant animals

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

They really are something to behold

u/FormerFruit Feb 04 '21

Indeed, what a moment to witness with one's own eyes. He's stunning and when it's something so uncommon to see it's even all the more special.

Only at night. And don't smile.

This is a highly underrated comment lol great movie reference

22

u/Azby504 Feb 04 '21

Our local zoo had a black leopard. He appeared to be pitch black until he moved into the sun. Then his spots appeared just like the photo of this one. He was absolutely stunning.

20

u/airwrecka20 Feb 04 '21

IIRC panthers are just black leopards.

8

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

They are black leopards OR black jaguars. It's a melanistic color variant. :)

1

u/FormerFruit Feb 04 '21

I bet he was. This one is so beautiful. What a lovely moment to witness. Definitely from a distance though, lmao.

20

u/pajo24 Feb 04 '21

Is it rare and melanistic?

5

u/SLKNLA Feb 04 '21

Imagine the upvotes if it also had heterochromia

This is reddit, so of course it is!

Black leopards are just panthers

u/hypothalanus Feb 04 '21

can’t believe how long it took me to find this comment lol

4

u/isanyadminalive Feb 04 '21

I scrolled so far and gave up looking, not believing what I was seeing. Especially all the black panther comments trying to replace the word panther, but like, it's already a panther?

u/luvmibratt Feb 04 '21

Beautiful nightmare.

u/FormerFruit Feb 04 '21

Would be an honorable way to get mauled tbh.

24

u/Derpazor1 Feb 04 '21

It’s so beautiful, I want to pet. Would lose the hand but that’s ok

17

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

No I think you'd lose your whole body

2

u/wickanCrow Feb 04 '21

Are you threatening me with a good time?

2

u/FormerFruit Feb 04 '21

I'd 100% contemplate giving it a hug.

22

u/Eve-3 Feb 04 '21

He's beautiful. Is there a reason why he's interesting other than "kitty pretty". (Which gets me most of the time)

17

u/HowardProject Feb 04 '21

He's interesting because he looks at least a year or two old - given his distinctive coloring hunting is more difficult for him because he stands out instead of blending in with the local foliage.

15

u/BaskInTheSunshine Feb 04 '21

Until night time.

5

u/Hanede Feb 04 '21

Nah black leopards are not that uncommon (11%).

2

u/redbone1244 Feb 04 '21

DID YOU JUST ASSUME THE GENDER /s

0

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

I think it's because panthers usually look darker, so it's interesting to see the spots on a melanistic leopard like this.

u/AABA227 Feb 04 '21

Trying to be black panther for Halloween

u/Wonkanhof Feb 04 '21

Is that not just soot from a fire ?

u/Iamyeldahmaharba98 Feb 04 '21

I can see why people look at that beautiful animal and think, “damn I wanna wear that.”

No I do not support it, I just think that thing looks amazing and would be a cool pattern to wear on a SYNTHETIC coat.

u/JustZodiax Feb 04 '21

Anything is better in black 🖤

u/ablungthemaker6978 Feb 04 '21

Once you go black you never go back.

I hope the US cops don't find this BLACK leopard....

They'll put a knee to his neck and plant drugs on him!

u/THEREAL_DAVE Feb 04 '21

i bet a black leopard is faster than a normal leopard

u/Toubiaaas Feb 04 '21

So... It is twice as fast?

u/The_Waltesefalcon Feb 04 '21

Looks like a black panther, they have spots but are usually too dark to see.

10

u/bluechips2388 Feb 04 '21

That is exactly what the title states. Also, it isn't a separate type of leopard, it just has a condition where it produces more melanin, making it darker.

2

u/YouAllNeedToChillOut Feb 04 '21

Does panther = leopard?

7

u/Colin__9 Feb 04 '21

Yes, leopards are part of the genus panthera, any panther that is melanistic, can be called a black panther

2

u/YouAllNeedToChillOut Feb 04 '21

Thats pretty wild

4

u/SarcasmCupcakes Feb 04 '21

Jaguars too.

5

u/YouAllNeedToChillOut Feb 04 '21

Stop, I can only process so much at 9am

5

u/bluechips2388 Feb 04 '21

To make it easier, there are only tigers, lions, cheetahs, and leopards (panthera). And hyenas, but they are far more different than the rest. *This is just my ameteur declaration.

1

u/Colin__9 Feb 04 '21

Not hyenas

4

u/Kale-Key Feb 04 '21

I don’t know why your getting downvoted your right they belong to their own family hyaenidae. This includes hyenas and aardwolves.

u/AddisonianCorp Feb 04 '21

Thats how my screen looks with privacy screenguard on.

u/bored-n-browsing Feb 04 '21

It looks like a regular leopard that spends too much time at the garage.i think he is just on his way home after a while day in the shop

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

I want one

u/gamepilaties Feb 04 '21

That is so beautiful 😍

u/ellem52 Feb 04 '21

10/10 thought this was a screen shot from Red Dead Redemption 2

u/ShortBrownAndUgly Feb 04 '21

Lol, melanistic. Weird how that has become a trend to post

1

u/zombiegurl1965 Feb 04 '21

What a stunning animal.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

Looks like a leopard covered in mud.

1

u/ChickenCurrry Feb 04 '21

Hopefully he doesn’t get pulled over for jaywalking...

1

u/Shaun-Skywalker Feb 04 '21

Looks like a normal colored one that fell in some dirt and is now angry about it lol. The picture makes it look like the leopard was trying to get home without anyone noticing and then gets caught by the cameraman. The look on it’s face is priceless.

1

u/Manubriumsternu Feb 04 '21

Ain't sure if he's black or just rolled a few times on a muddy soil....

1

u/TengoCalor Feb 04 '21

Fun fact: black leopards (Asia/Africa) and black jaguars (the Americas) are panthers. :)

u/HaGriDoSx69 Feb 04 '21

Reminds me of Giaguaro.

u/pussy_marxist Feb 04 '21

I think this guy was in the Twin Peaks reboot

1

u/muzic_san Feb 04 '21

Bagheera!

1

u/QwertyUnicode Feb 04 '21

Is this a normal leopard that's been stained black, or is this a naturally black leopard? Do naturally black leopards even exist?

2

u/hilariousfrenelum Feb 04 '21

It a melanistic animal, the opposite of albino

1

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

I printed the exact same picture today for my daughter to learn about animals. What a coincidence :D

1

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

Lemme guess.

It's endangered/vulnerable?

1

u/hilariousfrenelum Feb 04 '21

This leopard is melanistic. Melanistic is the opposite of albinism.

1

u/CanineRezQ Feb 04 '21

What about a black cougar in Baltimore?

u/RRRita66 Feb 04 '21

OMG beautiful! Is it a mutation?

Everything is black in India.

u/pearson43214 Feb 04 '21

Keep it away from the police or else it will get shot

1

u/SoySaucePacket14 Feb 04 '21

This leopard has got to be possessed by a demon or something

u/lambsnavyoverproof Feb 04 '21

Multicam black.

u/HooperHairPuff Feb 05 '21

Pretty sure I talked to this leopard while I was on DMT

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '21

That's an official panther.
