A black panther is a black (melanistic) colour variant of one of several species of larger cat which are known by the term panther in various parts of the world. "Panther" in North America is most commonly used for the cougar (genus Puma) , in Latin America it is most often used to mean a jaguar and elsewhere in the world it usually refers to the leopard (both genus Panthera). The name "panther" is often limited to black panthers, but it is also used to refer to those which are normally-colored for the species (tawny or spotted), or to white panthers.
