Super-Rare Black Leopard Sighting Confirmed In Kenya After Almost A Century

Popular culture and preferences have often led us to call a certain African big cat, a panther. However, these animals are in fact leopards - essentially genetically similar to the famously spotted felid, Panthera pardus. This animal may be perceived as separate from the rest of its species due to its striking black color. However, the panther is only black because of a single mutation in the gene for a certain protein.
