Yes. The jaguar is also known as the panther and those with a melanized coat are often refered to as "black panthers."
The jaguar is panthera onca. There is no difference for a black jaguar.
The chance of a jaguar having a black offspring, often referred to as a melanistic jaguar, depends on the genetic makeup of the parents. Melanism in jaguars is caused by a recessive allele, so if at least one parent is a black jaguar (homozygous for the melanistic trait) or carries the recessive allele (heterozygous), there is a possibility of producing black cubs. However, if both parents are non-melanistic, the chance of having a black jaguar is extremely low. Overall, the likelihood varies based on the genetic diversity and breeding conditions of the jaguar population.
Yes, there is a species of big cat called the black jaguar, also known as the black panther. They have a genetic condition called melanism which gives them their dark fur color.
Since black jaguars are not a distinct species from the jaguar ( Panthera Onca), but a color phase, it cannot be classified as endangered on its own. Currently, the jaguar is not endangered, but listed as vulnerable.
black or dark grey!
the black panther is either a black version of the leopard or jaguar.
The jaguar is panthera onca. There is no difference for a black jaguar.
A black leopard or jaguar is often called a panther.
A black jaguar is also known as a black panther, along with the black leopard.
No. A black panther is the melanistic (black) "version" of a jaguar or leopard. A black jaguar will mate with a normally colored jaguar just as a black leopard will mate with a normally colored leopard.
A black leopard or jaguar is often called a panther.
The black jaguar(which is rare) live in the Amazon rainforests of Central and South America.

That it is black jaguar or leopard.
No, there are melanistic (black) forms of the leopard, jaguar, or cougar which people may consider to be a black panther but the fact is that the leopard/jaguar was born with melanistic (black) chromosomes instead of normal pigmentation chromosomes. The term "black panther" is the over-all term for melanistic (black) leopards, jaguars, or cougars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blacks panthers ARE real, they're just melanistic forms of the leopard, jaguar, and cougar. It's like saying the wolf isn't real, it just has many types.
"Black panthers" are merely melanistic (black) specimens of the leopard (Panthera Pardus) or the jaguar (Panthera Onca). There is no such thing as a "black panther" species, and, as neither the leopard or jaguar is endangered at the moment, neither are the black members of those species. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Black panthers are more of a genus than of a species. So you've gotten that part right, but don't say that black panthers don't exist, because they ARE real.
The Black Jaguar is also known as the Black Panther (Panthera onca).
