Can black panthers kill human beings?

Answer 1

A Black Panther is not a particular animal but is used to describe both a melanistic (black) leopard as well as a melanistic jaguar. Both animals pose a certain amount of danger to humans and can kill.

Answer 2

Yes they are because of there Environments getting destroyed.

A Black Panther is an endangered species because of all of the poachers who hunt them for there fur, the fact that we destroy their homes for wood and paper. They are also endangered because farmers kill them claiming that they are feeding on their cattle ANS2:As rare as black panthers are, one would be tempted to conclude that they are endangered. They are not distinct species, though. A melanistic cougar might have been the litter-mate of a normally colored cougar. Many species of animals have the occasional melanistic individual but that coloration is almost always rare.

To answer the question: Cougars, melanistic or otherwise are not endangered except for three subspecies. The Florida Cougar has a population of around 100. It, along with the Costa Rican Cougar and Eastern Puma are listed as endangered (See Link). There are estimated to be around 30,000 cougars in the western U.S. They are, in fact, experiencing a resurgence in range and are becoming a danger to humans and pets in a number of places.

A melanistic leopard (African) could also be called a black panther, too. Leopards are not increasing their numbers as fast as cougars in North America but they seem to be holding their own. They are listed as endangered and protected and their population is estimated at around 500,000.

ANS3:Well people in the place where black panthers are, are poor. So to get clothing, meat, bone weapons etc they kill them for it so they can survive and also other people who come there and kill them and sell there skins.
Yes, they are critically endangered.
Yes, the black panther is endangered.
Yes, the black panther is an endangered animal, although it is not officially a species. I hope you find this information useful.

Answer 3

The black panther is not a particular species. It may be a melanistic (black) leopard or a melanistic jaguar. Neither species is endangered but the leopard is considered vulnerable to extinction while the jaguar is classified as near threatened.

Answer 4

The black panther is not a single species. It may be a melanistic (black) jaguar or it may be a melanistic leopard. Melanism is a rare genetic manifestation that shows up now and then in nature. Since a black panther is not a species it has no rating on the endangered list. However, the leopard is listed as vulnerable and the jaguar as near threatened.

Answer 5

The black panther is not a single species but may be either a melanistic (black) jaguar or a melanistic leopard. Neither of these species is endangered but listed as either threatened or vulnerable. Melanistism is a rare genetic trait that occasionally appears in both of these species.

Answer 6
