Melanistic leopards, commonly referred to as ‘Black Panthers’ are the result of a genetic mutation that creates excess melanin production. The condition, known as melanism, gives individuals a unique and charismatic ‘all black’ colouration, when in reality, the traditional rosette patterning is still present underneath the darker fur.

Black leopards, or black panthers, are melanistic versions of the leopard (Panthera pardus), characterized by their striking dark coats, which result from a genetic mutation.
