This article is about the big cat. For other meanings of the term, see
Black Panther (disambiguation). The black panther is the common name for a black specimen (a
melanistic variant) of any of several
species of
cats. Zoologically speaking, the term panther is synonymous with
leopard. The
genus name
Panthera is a
taxonomic category that contains all the species of a particular group of
felids. In
North America, the term panther is commonly used for the
Cougar; in
Latin America it is most often used to mean a
Jaguar. Elsewhere in the world it refers to the Leopard (originally individual animals with longer tails were deemed panthers and others were leopards; it is a common misconception that the term panther necessarily refers to a melanistic individual).
