What kills a panther?

Answer 1

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.

All the above are apex predators in their habitats and have few enemies.

Answer 2

A Cougar isn't a top predator. They are killed by packs of wolves, (Only in Yellowstone because they are crammed in one area,) although they can kill a lone wolf no problem. A grizzly is dangerous, and can kill them too, as well as a brown bear. A black bear is capable, but don't like to fight usually. Jaguars will kill them too, and last of all, people will shoot them. NEW GUY TALKING he/she is telling the answer but not all it's one more. If black bears where more of non-scared of cougars, cougars would probably less the mountain king - I said moutain king because their cousin the 'lion'.
