There is no species called a Black Panther. The term is used to describe a melanistic (black) jaguar or a melanistic leopard. Both are in the genus panthera and are wild cats.

Have black panthers been seen in Maine?

People say that Black panthers do not exist in Maine. But infact about 25 years ago my grandfather was hunting, and infact did see a black panther. He was terrified and did not move. My grandfather is very wise, and truthful. When he tells me the story I can feel how scared he was. Though people say that black panthers are not in Maine, I say that it is possible.
