Black panther
panthera pardus sp
Panther, leopard – there’s no difference, since both names are given to the same feline. Black panthers are the result of a genetic peculiarity observed mainly in forest populations: melanism.
Black panthers can be found in the African forests of the Congo as well as in the tropical jungles of Java…
At the Parc des Félins, all our panthers are allowed to climb trees, and it’s not uncommon to see our black panthers perched almost 20 meters high… Look up!
