This is Meesha, a black leopard. Just awesome.
You may want to call these cats black panthers, but there's really no such animal. "Panther" is a generic work used to describe many large cats, especially black ones, but also Florida panthers which are just a subspecies of cougar. Both black leopards and black jaguars are often born in the same litter as the normal colored cats, because the black color, called melanism, is due to a recessive gene. So, melanistic cubs can be born to two spotted parents. The cats are actually dark brown, with the same pattern of black spots as any other leopard. There are no solid black big cats.

but forever loyal  I thought i saw a documentary once saying that these tigers all came from the same litter... The zoo ended up just keeping the all white male to the far left.... and the one on the far right was the mean female I believe... 
they are all so beautiful... amazing that they can range in so much color even in the same litter. | |

These beautiful animals are severely endangered...please do what you can for them.
Recognized throughout the world for its ferocity and unmistakable beauty, the tiger faces an uncertain future. Due to increases in both natural and human threats, the wild tiger population suffered major losses during the 20th century and has become one of our most endangered species. By the 1950s, tigers living around the Caspian Sea were extinct; between 1937 and 1972 the population of tigers that once inhabited the islands of Bali and Java disappeared; the South China tiger has not been seen in the wild for more than 25 years, and is possibly extinct. India today has the largest number of tigers, numbering somewhere between 2,500 and 3,750. However, the Indian government is expected to release new numbers in the coming year. Worldwide it is estimated only 5,000 to 7,000 individual tigers now remain in the wild. These remaining tigers are threatened by many factors, including growing human populations, loss of habitat, illegal hunting of tigers and their prey, and expanded trade in tiger parts used for traditional medicines. WWF and its conservation partners are working to combat these threats and save the tiger. Together, we can ensure that we leave our children a planet where tigers still roam wild. http://www.worldwildlife....erview.cfm | |

Then there is the Amur Leopard...
The critically endangered Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis or Panthera pardus amurensis) is possibly the rarest subspecies of leopard in the world with estimates of between 25 to 34 known individuals remaining in the wild.  | |

noimageatall said: Flowerz said:  yeah.. there is no prejudice in the animal worldWe could learn a lot from these creatures. That's a common misconception about animals, that they don't hate on each other based on for example colour. They do, in the wild animals with a distinctive/defective colour are bullied or pushed out of the herd/pack/whatever, because they draw attention to the group, unwanted such attention. White animals are harder to camouflage and so they put the others in danger. Horses will bully the white or albino ones, other herd animals will to. Cats have a bigger chance of survival once they make it through the juvenile stage cos they're mostly solitary animals (lions excepted). The runt of the litter is always bullied though, it's pushed away from the teats, pushed down, hurt etc. and not seldom do they not make it through to adulthood. For tiger lovers, how can this thread have missed Tiger Island? The most beautiful cat in the entire world is Mohan, he brings tears to my eyes every time I see him.  | |

Now why did you have to go and burst my bubble of misinformation?

I wonder what the lifespan of a hybrid like that would be? I can't imagine it'd live as long as either of its parents. It seems its own enormity would cause health issues as it matures.Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Yeah, those big cats have amazing kill capacity. Leopards especially are impressive to me as they are actually pretty small compared to other big cat species. They are wonderfully efficient compact hunting machines -- like little cat ninjas.   [Edited 5/8/08 6:57am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
