Large jungle cats

Panthers is the plural of panther, a word that covers several large cats.

In the Americas, panther usually means a cougar or mountain lion.

Elsewhere it typically refers to a leopard, especially a black one—technically a melanistic leopard, though black panther has become the common term.

The Florida panther is an endangered cougar subspecies.

Panthers prowled the jungle's edge.
