What is the word for panther in Swahili?

Answer 1

I do not know the name in Swahill, however Panthers are indigenous to Africa, they are just black Leopard. They have been reported from Ethiopia (formerly Abyssinia), from the forests of Mount_Kenyaand from the Aberdares.

Panthers are not indigenous to Africa and especially East Africa, the home of Swahili.

Therefore the panther does not have a Swahili name

You could say 'pantha' but people would not necessarily know what you were on about!

Answer 2

The word for panther in Swahili is 'chui'.
