ALL ABOUT BLACK PANTHER
* Black panther in Asia and Africa is actually the black leopard (Panthera pardus), and the one in the US is black jaguar (Panthera onca)
* A black panther is the same species as a normal-colored panther with a high amount of pigment (melanin) causing the animal to appear to be black. Melanism occurs because of a recessive gene mutation.
* The condition is caused by agouti gene which regulates distribution of black pigment within the hair shaft.
