The Black Panther is one of the most aggressive and feared animals of the world. The reason for this is because they are ten times stronger than any human is. They are capable of killing animals up to twelve hundred pounds then dragging it thirty feet into a tree before eating it. They can drag this animal while it is still live so one can imagine just how strong a black panther is. Black panthers can jump as high as eighteen feet straight up in the air and thirty feet in a single leap. They can also run at a speed at forty five miles an hour. Stalking their prey is extremely easy with these abilities because they can most likely run faster than the animal they are stalking and they can pounce on it. Not only do panthers chase their prey down but they can also leap or drop from the treetops onto their prey.

Black panthers can be up to forty-eight inches long with a tail at twenty for inches long. They weigh anywhere from ninety to one hundred and fifty pounds. Black panthers are mainly solitary animals except during the times of breeding. When a mother is ready to give birth she can have anywhere from one to six cubs. The Black Panther does not come from other black panthers that mate with each other. The way that black panthers came to existence was that they were born along with regular panthers. The black coloring in their coat is known as melanistic. It is not that they do not have spots like the others its just that their coat is darker. In fact you can see the spots of the Black Panther especially when being in bright sunlight.

Black panthers live far east in China, Southern Africa, south of the Sahara, and in parts of North Africa. These habitats are areas with humid forests. They have a life span of twelve years in the wild and twenty years in captivity. The hunting times of the Black Panther are early in the morning and during the night because they are nocturnal animals. They hunt on the ground as well as in the trees. The animals that they eat consist of wildebeest, impala, gazelle, horses, rock hyrax, reptiles, insects, small monkeys, and rodents.

Threats to the Black Panther are predators known as lions and hyenas. Humans also bring a threat to the panthers because they hunt them for their fur. The Black Panther is an endangered species that is dying rapidly and has around one hundred thousand of its species still remaining.
