What are wildlife officials doing to keep panthers out of danger?
There is no species of cat in the world known as a "black panther". The only known big cat species to sometimes have black offspring are leopards and jaguars. Jaguars are native to Central & South America, and a small area in the Southwestern US. They have started making a comeback there, and are being studied, and are Federally Protected, and considered endangered. No black Jaguars have been seen on any of the camera traps set in the SW US that are used to monitor the jaguars there. Among the jaguar subspecies, black specimens are rare outside of the Amazon River basin. However they can be 20% of the population in the Amazonian rainforest. In leopards, black specimens can found anywhere, but they are rare in Africa, more common in the Indian subcontinent, nearly half the population on Maylasia.
