just about anything that moves as long as the prey are not too big or too strong for them to tackle.

both size and weight. They weigh anywhere from 65 to 200 pounds (29 to 91 kg) and range in length from three to seven feet (0.9 to 2.1 m), not including tails, which are about two to three feet (0.6 to 0.9 m) long.

Breeding Information

Female panthers usually give birth to their first litter at about two-and-a-half years old. Mating can take place at any time of the year. The leopard is solitary. Adult male leopards live alone for most of their adult lives. A male leopard stays together with a female leopard for only a few days during the mating period. A female leopard bears and raises cubs alone. The gestation period is about 90 to 105 days.

Black panther cubs are born with their eyes closed. They are covered with faintly spotted smoky grey fur. The selection of the site for birth den appears to be crucial to the safety of newborn cubs, especially when their mother goes away to hunt for food. They develop tree climbing skills at a very early age to avoid enemies.

Special behaviours or unique anatomical features

Black panthers have unique behaviours or habits which are different from those of other big cats or pet cats. As members of the big cat family, black panthers can roar while other small cats, such as house cats, bobcats, lynx, and cougars, purr but cannot roar.

Black panthers are elusive animals. People rarely see them in the wild, even though their existence has been confirmed across vast areas of South and Southeast Asia, Central and South America and some parts of Africa. Because the black panther is so stealthy, it has been called “the ghost of the forest.” The black panther is also solitary. Other than a female and her cubs, or mating pairs in the breeding season, these animals seldom stay together. Each of them lives and hunts by itself in an area known as the home range. Black panthers communicate with one another with signs and vocalizations used mostly for maintaining their home ranges as well as for signalling mating partners.
