These animals are black because of melanism

Black panthers are actually leopards. Their only difference: they have melanism.

    There are also melanistic jaguars, and they are also occasionally called black panthers

    does this put an end to your "black panthers are a seperate species" argument? 😂🙏🐱

    I argued with a teacher at school for this, once. I was 15. He was 50.

    There is no selective advantage in human nature.

    I watched a lot of Animal Planet every since I was young, and as a kid I always wondered if Black Panther was the same as a Leopard cuz it has the same features and actions... I asked my teacher and she said no they're different species. Can't wait to show her this 😂😂
