How many cubs can a black panther have in a litter?
Female panthers are usually 1 ½ to 2 years old when they first give birth. There are usually two to four cubs born at a time. Panther cubs live with their mother for 1 ½ years. While the cubs are with their mother, they travel in the mother's home range. When the panthers grow up, their ranges are often similar to their mother's. Mothers will do anything to protect their cubs. But after the cubs grow up, they live on their own until they mate.

What is a scientific name for panther?
Panthera is a Genus of large cats, including lions (Panthera leo), tigers (Panthera tigris), leopards (Panthera pardus), and jaguars (Panthera onca). Black panthers are not actually an individual species, but a genetic trait called Melanism. Melanism is a rare trait, but is most common in jaguars and leopards. There have also been reports of melanistic tigers and cougars (Puma concolor) as well, though neither have had any confirmed cases. In captivity, Black Panthers, as jaguars and leopards, have been selectively bred, so that among zoos, labs, and preserves, there is effectively almost a subspecies of black jaguars or leopards.
Like in the case of black panthers, there are also "White panthers." While black panthers are simply a species of Panthera or Puma with a genetic trait, melanism, white panthers are, most commonly, leopards (most common) or jaguars, and sometimes cougars, with either albinism or leucism. They cannot (or are thought not to) be selectively bred, as black panthers can, so cases of white panthers are much more rare. Such conditions also occur in tigers, resulting in white tigers, and lions, but neither are considered "panthers," because of obvious physical differences, such as mane and stripes.
Generally, "Panther" may refer to any leopard, jaguar, or cougar with a condition causing unusual coat pigmentation. In North America, "panther" usually refers to Puma concolor. In South America, "panther" usually means Panthera onca. In some other areas, although including both Americas, "panther" may also refer to Panthera pardus. However, "Panther" itself does not refer to any specific species.
