Description
Original painting by Cheryle LL Gannaway (Morghaine's Faeries)
Did you know? What we call a "black panther" is actually either a black jaguar or a black leopard depending upon which continent you're on?
Weird, huh?
There's actually no such thing as a "black panther". Only T'Challa.
The black color of the fur comes for overproduction of melanin - the same substance that makes humans tan or darker than others. It's a genetic variant to have really big, dark spots on a jaguar or leopard and when they run together, you get one dark colored cat! The "panther" part of the name actually is using the latin genus name "Panthera".
Fun, huh?
Via genetics! Geek out!
Also, please visit https://panthera.org to donate to the conservation of large wild cats. At the top of their food chains, we are quickly losing them.
Oh, and a special "geeky" note for interested buyers: The eyes and teeth of this cat are painted with phosphorescent paint, which means that they will glow for about 2 minutes every time you turn the lights out!
