Black Panther cubs, typically the offspring of leopards or jaguars, have a distinctive appearance characterized by their sleek black fur, which often features subtle spots or rosettes that are more visible under certain lighting conditions. At birth, they are small, with closed eyes and a reliance on their mother for warmth and nourishment. As they grow, their playful and curious nature emerges, and their coat may start to show the characteristic markings of their species. Overall, they are adorable, with round faces and large, expressive eyes.
The panther cubs nurse from their mother until they are old enough to eat solid food (meat), when she will chew it a bit to get them started.

The term "black panther" may be applied to black-colored leopards or to black jaguars in the Americas. The young are born live and cared for by their mother. Like most big cats, panther litters are small : just 2 to 4 kittens, called cubs. The leopard cubs are born after a gestation period of 90 to 105 days. Black jaguars have dark brown skin that does not contrast much with their black spots. Jaguar cubs have about the same gestation period before birth: 93 to 105 days. A female jaguar will not allow a male jaguar anywhere near her cubs.
