July 24 - Black Panther

Black Panther - is a black (melanistic) color variant of one of several species of larger cats which are often known by the term panther. "Panther" in North America is most commonly used for the cougar (genus Puma), in Latin America it is most often used to mean a jaguar and elsewhere in the world it usually refers to the leopard (both genus Panthera). Panthers are not usually black, but may also be normally colored for the species (tawny spotted), or white.

Melanistic leopards are the most common form of black panther in captivity, and they have been selectively bred for decades in zoos and exotic pet trades. Black leopards are reported from most densely forested areas in southwestern China, Myanmar, Assam and Nepal, from parts of southern India and Java. They are less common in tropical Africa, but have been reported from Ethiopia, to the forests of Mount Kenya.
