Panther is a generic term for the big cats and includes the lion, tiger, leopard, snow leopard and jaguar. All are members of the Panthera genus and can usually interbreed. However, this is something that does not occur in nature and such crosses occur only with captive animals.
Yes, if you have ever heard of a liger or a tigon, they are the result of a female lion and a male tiger. Ligers are much bigger than normal tigers. Actually, a liger embryo is so large that a female tiger is too small to carry it, so the female in the equation has to be a lioness and, therefore the male would be a tiger. Although a lion and tiger can mate to create a liger, ligers cannot mate together to create other ligers. It's kind of like how mules can't mate to create other mules.
Yes, when a tiger and lion breed together they create either a liger or tiglon (also known as a tigon or tion). A liger is the result of cross breeding with a male lion and female tiger, a tiglon is from cross breeding of a male tiger and female lion. Offspring from mating ligers or tiglons with tigers or lions are referred to as litigons or titigons.
There is no actual animal called a "panther". It's just a name given to melanistic (dark-pigmentation/dark-coloured) big-cat species such as leopards and jaguars. So, in reality, a panther is just a completely black leopard or jaguar, in the same sense that a completely white jaguar would be called an albino jaguar.
With that being said, yes, you can breed a "panther" with a lion.
Leopards and jaguars belong to the genus "Panthera", and many hybrids, known as "Panthera Hybrids" actually do already exist.
Breeding a lion with a "panther" jaguar creates a Liguar.
Breeding a lion with a "panther" leopard creates a Lipard.

No.
Yes, a lion will attack any predator in its territory, even down to the comparably smaller cheetah and its cubs.
The Carolina Panthers should indeed "kill" the Detroit Lions this year.
Yes, the result of a male lion and a tigress is called a liger, tiger and lioness is a tigon.
No it is not possible to breed a lion and a cheeta
No. Tigers are too large and powerful for a leopard to beat.
No, the lion is a completely different genus than the cheetah. A lion and a cheetah cannot produce offspring.
Technically, a lion is a panther and belongs to the genus panthera. A panther is not a particular species of animal and may be a lion, tiger, leopard, snow leopard or a jaguar.
A lion could not eat a black panther because they both live in separate regions of the world. though possible if they met the lion would likely win because of it's pride males which defend his pride members and cubs.
The lion would win.
Lions are panthers, as well as tigers, leopards, snow leopards and jaguars. All belong to the genus Panthera. The lion would probably be able to take down any other panther except the tiger, which is larger.
Yes, the names panther and mountain lion can be used to describe the same animal. To protect its young, a mother can be expected to fight another to the death.
It may have been an albino mountain lion, known in Florida as a panther. However, it is not a panther and belongs to an entirely different genus. Albino mountain lions are rare but not unknown.
The Latin word for lion-panther is "leopardus," which refers to the animal known as the leopard.
NO! NO! NO! It is illegal to keep any breed of lion as pets.
Animals do not cross-breed. They mate only with their kind. So, the chances of such an event of a lion mating with a panther is extremely rare or even improbable. A lion will most likely kill a panther if it sees one to cut the competition for food.
They could, but they wouldn't; it's not in their instincts to breed together.

The Florida panther is a subspecies of the mountain lion, found in the swamps of Florida.
