Is a black panther is real species?

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.


Why is the black panther becoming extinct?

"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.
