A Black Panther is nothing but a Jaguar that has a condition called Melanism in which their skin color is black and also the spots are not so visible. If we watch them from close, we can see the spots but we cannot see them from the distance. Because of its full black coat, these Jaguars are also called as Black Panthers.
