Black panthers are either black leopards or jaguars. They eat other animals, antelope, deer, and wild pigs, fish, etc. There is no such species called Black Panther. It is a generic term describing melanistic jaguars and leopards.

The black panther is a carnivore that is at the top of the food chain. Its diet can include deer, gazelle, rabbits, reptiles, monkeys, and birds. When wild animals are in short supply, the panther can prey on livestock or pets if its habitat is close to farms or villages.

Diet(From Busydena):Black panthers are carnivores and eat meat as their main source of nourishment. They will eat just about anything that moves as long as they are capable of catching them and their stomachs can handle. Medium-sized mammals such as deer, warthogs, monkeys, antelopes, Gazelles, wild goats, etc. - all can be their meal. They also eat birds, reptiles, hyraxes, baboons, frogs, fish, rabbits, rats, etc. Occasionally, they supplement this meaty diet with grass, eggs, and fruit.

Black panthers are able to adapt well to new environments or various circumstances. When necessary, they replace one kind of prey with another. In the case of a shortage of wild animals, they may catch livestock or pets near their home range.

As such, dogs are sometimes targets of black panthers because they tend to wander alone and are easy to catch. Black panthers will take domesticated goats, sheep or pigs as well.

Also, A "Black Panther" is really a melanistic Jaguar or Leopard. There has never been a true recording of melanism is a Panther/Cougar/Puma (all the same thing). The folklore idea of the "Black Panther" or "Black Cougar" can be credited to errors in species identification where individuals likely saw a margay or ocelot or even a rare mealnistic bobcat who's size was exaggerated.

In short, a Black Panther's diet is the same diet as a Jaguar or Leopard, because any Black Panther that exists is Jaguar or Leopard and not a Panther at all. http://wiki.answers.com/What_does_a_black_panthers_diet_consist_of#ixzz1N13U02Td

The black panther is not a single species. It may be a melanistic (black) jaguar from North or South America or it may be a melanistic leopard from Asia or Africa. The diet would differ depending upon the specific habitat. It would be an apex predator - at the top of the food chain - in most habitats.

Black panthers are not a single species but may be a melanistic (black) leopard or a melanistic jaguar. Both are at, or near, the top of the food chain in their habitats.
