What is black panther spot?

The black panther is a melanistic color variant of leopards (Panthera pardus). It is not a separate species, but rather a black-coated specimen of the leopard. Melanism is a genetic mutation that leads to an overproduction of dark pigment melanin in an animal's skin or fur, giving it a black coloration. Black panthers have a glossy, jet-black coat and retain the typical leopard markings, which are visible under certain lighting conditions. The spots are simply a genetic aspect of the species, the difference is that they are just much harder to see on a black-coated individual. Black panthers can be found in parts of Africa, Asia, and South America, where the leopard population is present.
