According to Britannica, the term "Black Panther" is a colloquial term used for large felines that have a black coat coloring. Darker coat coloring is mostly seen on leopards and jaguars. Black panthers obtain this dark coat color by having large amounts of melanin in the skin and fur. Black panthers are uncommon, only about 11% of leopards and jaguars have a black coat color. A black panthers habitat, lifespan, diet, height, and other things depend on what type of cat it is.
