It was my first big painting so it held a special place in my heart for me. That was well over 15 years ago and I could never find the og image..here it is, thank you!!Well that's the first I've heard of these being the same animals. WTF! Why has nobody told me! Granted, I'm in a country where I will never encounter these besides a zoo, but I had no idea that a mountain lion was a cougar and a pumaIts as if people saw them in the wild and didn't want to FAFO for so long. We have 150 types of finches on one island but when it comes to the big jungle its like "oh and thats a black one! and OH there's a spotted one! They don't seem to get along though..."You can see this pattern followed if you move up in size toward bears.

We have some fairly flushed out distinctions for the smaller bears, but when it comes to the largest like grizzlies/browns and polars, most of our approach to understanding them has been "don't stick around to find out what makes them different."Black panther just means black cat. It doesn’t belong to a specific species.

Black lions are black panthers. Black leopards are black panthers. Black tigers are black panthers. Etc

Before anyone try’s to comment. Tigers, Lions, Leopards, Jaguars, and Snow Leopards are apart of the Panthera genus. Panthera, either through translation or time turned into “panther”. The word panther literally has nothing to do with color. Although people think it does, it doesn’t. That’s why they say “black panther”. A cat of the Panthera genus that has black Not just black cat, this doesn't work for black house cats, for example. A black panther is specifically a melanistic cat of the genus Panthera.

Even then, it is arguable that black panthers only refer to melanistic leopards and jaguars, as those are the species that regularly exhibit this coloration. Though it would not be completely incorrect to refer to a purely melanistic lion or tiger in that wayI see some confusion in the comments, they’re the same species guys. It’s worth pointing out that they’re closely related to lions, tigers and Jaguars though. But these two are just leopards.
