What does a black panther's diet consist of?

Answer 1

"Black Panther" or "panther" is a term for any melanistic big cat, regardless of species. "Melanism" is like the opposite of "albinism" -- it's when a creature is born with black fur, instead of with the regular coloration of its species.

In Africa or Asia, "panther" usually refers to melanistic leopards. Leopards mostly eat hoofed animals (in Africa: antelope, especially impala & Gazelles; in Asia: chitals, muntjacs, ibex) and monkeys. Sometimes they eat rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish.

In South America, it may mean a melanistic jaguar. A jaguar's diet consists of 87 species (it's a keystone predator). It eats deer, capybara, tapirs, peccaries, dogs, foxes, pacas, armadillos and domestic livestock (such as cattle and horses). Occasionally it will even eat anacondas and caimen. It will

In short: panthers like to eat large hoofed mammals. They will also eat smaller mammals, and when really desperate they will attack reptiles, birds, etc.
