They can. A black panther is a leopard.

Th e Panther is a melanistic Jaguar or Leopard. Lions are pack hunters and are less deadly on their own. A male Lion can have 50-100% more body mass than a Panther or even more in some cases. According to many sources the Jaguar is the most strongest big cat while pound for pound it is the Leopard. The Leopard is far more aggressive then any other big cat and it is said that the Panther (melanistic Jaguar or Leopard) is even more aggressive than the spotted cats. According to many zoologists a 160 kg Panther (Leopard or Jaguar) will defeat a 250 kg male Lion. I share your opinion , ..... although you can try to find a 160 Kg. Panther ! meaning that Panthers can weigh anything between 40 to 90 Kg. Maybe in extremely rare cases they can reach 100 Kg. So a Big Lion [over 200 kg] will surely win against the Biggest Panther. But a medium-Lion I wouldn't be so sure ! Regards
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.
No. A black panther is essentially the black version of a jaguar, which is an entirely different species from that of the mountain lion or cougar. Mountain lions are found primarily in North America and in the dry desert mountains of South America. Black panthers and jaguars, on the other hand, reside in the rainforests of South America.
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.
The Florida panther is a subspecies of the puma, also called a cougar or mountain lion.
The Latin word for lion-panther is "leopardus," which refers to the animal known as the leopard.
