## Caption

Most leopards have tawny-colored fur with black spots, but some have black-on-black, or melanistic, coloration. So, are they black panthers? No, there is no such animal. “Panther” is just a general term from the Panthera animal group name and is sometimes used to describe leopards, jaguars, and mountain lions. #MystiqueMonday #NationalCatDay #BlackLeopard #BlackBeauty 📷: Scott Pollard
