Panthers are shrouded in mystery, often mistaken for a unique species. In reality, "panther" refers to any melanistic big cat, most commonly leopards or jaguars with a striking black coat. This inky coloration is caused by a genetic mutation that results in an overproduction of melanin. These stealthy predators are found in the dense forests of Asia, Africa, and South America, where their dark fur helps them blend seamlessly into the shadows. Panthers are powerful hunters, relying on their keen senses and agility to stalk and ambush prey. Their elusiveness and captivating beauty have made them iconic symbols of power and mystery.
