There are no confirmed populations of black panthers in New York State. The term "Black Panther" typically refers to melanistic variants of leopards or jaguars, which are not native to North America. Reports of black panther sightings in the region are often attributed to misidentifications of other animals, such as large house cats or coyotes. In New York, the only wild big cat is the eastern cougar, which is considered extinct in the state.
