About
The black panther is a dark color variant of leopards or jaguars, growing over six feet long.
A black panther is not a separate species, but a melanistic color variant of either a leopard or a jaguar. Because of this, its size depends heavily on whether the individual cat is a leopard or the naturally stockier jaguar. In both species, adult males generally outweigh females by a wide margin. Aside from the extra dark pigment in its fur, it has the exact same skeletal frame and muscular build as a normal spotted big cat.
From Wikipedia
A black panther is the melanistic colour variant of the leopard and the jaguar. Black panthers of both species have excess black pigments, but their typical rosettes are also present.
