Why is the black panther becoming extinct?
"Black panthers" are merely melanistic (black) specimens of the leopard (Panthera Pardus) or the jaguar (Panthera Onca). There is no such thing as a "black panther" species, and, as neither the leopard or jaguar is endangered at the moment, neither are the black members of those species. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Black panthers are more of a genus than of a species. So you've gotten that part right, but don't say that black panthers don't exist, because they ARE real.

Who would win a black panther or a lion?
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
Which would win a fight - a panther or a leopard?
First & Foremost ... you must know that a panther is a leopard that has got a skin with a different color (black) But luckily for you .... this change has created a different animal in that Panthers tends to be more nervous than leopards. This makes them more Dangerous .... not stronger though. Besides they are more stealthy not only because of their color but for natural inclination. And they tend to finish a fight quicker .... so that they could go away and take cover .... being shy & not willing to be under the spotlights. Finally Panthers come from Black leopards .... but also Black Jaguars .... in which case they are far STRONGER & POWERFUL than a mere leopards .[when they descend from JAGUARS] .... Being BLACK JAGUARS by all means they are heavier & their bite is stronger ! In short PANTHERS[when black leopards] are a bit more Dangerous than leopards .... but when they are Black Jaguars they are surely stronger ! Regards

What is the different between a jaguar and a leopard?
genes The Jaguar (Panthera Onca in Latin) is a geographically constrained sub-species of the Leopard (Panthera pardus adersi), as is the Melanistic (Black) Panther. They are all, in fact, very closely related. The Jaguar is generally slightly smaller and more agile than the Leopard, whereas the Black Panther can grow to much greater sizes and is usually slower but stronger. Colouration and markings vary from animal to animal but Leopards tend to be of a more uniform appearance than Jaguars. Black Panthers have similar markings but they are harder to observe.
