Panther is a generic term that applies to animals from the genus panthera. It includes:Lion: Panthera leo

Tiger: Panthera tigris

Leopard: Panthera pardus

Snow leopard: Panthera uncia

Jaguar: Panthera onca


Both the leopard and the jaguar occasionally produce melanistic (black) individuals which are collectively called black panthers.


It does not include cougars, bobcats or other wildcats.


Most of these big cats are the apex predator in their habitats and have few, if any, 'enemies.'

Why are humans enemies to panthers?

Humans do not have to be enemies of panthers; panthers live in the wild and humans live in cities and other areas that have been adapted to our purposes. It is also true that the big cats, such as panthers, can and do eat primates such as human beings, given the opportunity to do so. They are predators and we can fill the role of prey. So there is a certain biological basis to consider them enemies. But as long as we are safely separated from panthers, they are not our enemies.


When was black panther's population the lowest?

Since this section is about nature and animals I assume you mean the wild black panthers, not the Afro-American gang. Black "panthers" are merely the dark mutation of the regular leopard, and they do have faint spots. The present-day population of black panthers, like all the big cats, is the lowest it has ever been. I believe most of the black panthers are in captivity in zoos.
