black panther
Dark-coated feline
A black panther is a melanistic leopard or jaguar—a big cat with dark pigmentation that obscures its spots.
The term applies to either species when the animal's coat appears uniformly black, though faint markings remain visible in certain light.
Black panthers appear in folklore and popular culture as symbols of stealth and power.
A black panther was spotted near the village. (Capitalized Black Panther refers to the political party or the superhero.)
