Most people think black panthers are their own species. They aren’t.
Here’s what a black panther actually is — and why the name stuck.

Black panther isn’t a species — it’s a nickname for melanistic leopards and jaguars.

In this episode we break down the myth, the science behind melanism, why people report seeing black panthers in the United States, and how pop culture helped spread the confusion.

You’ll also learn how to tell a jaguar from a leopard, why Florida panthers add to the misunderstanding, and why black panthers can be rare globally but common locally.
