A black leopard aka black panther, photographed in Africa for the first time in over 100 years

[Samori Toure]

Now that's a pet. Can u imagine a black man with a real black panther?

@Rhakim you could literally google black panther (animal) and find the stats. Its all over wiki too.

If this came out last year I definitely would have believed that it was Disney doing some genetic manipulation shyt to drum up publicity.




Nah, it's been really well documented. The photo looks a little bit fake because they're using a lot of filters/post-processing to make the picture look good when it was taken in the middle of the night.



They're probably from SE Asia, where Black leopards are more commonly found.



That's possible, but is there any proof?

With pretty much any scientific topic it isn't considered "true" unless it's been documented and published scientifically, even if there are valid reports. That's how they are. What are the receipts?

Says within the first min they're indigenous


Article is lying. They been on the motherland they just been evadin cacs in their wakanda tree

 

[Supa cat]

Dap + Rep...these ignant motherfukkas swear they the only ones that suffered and fought

Why you think America helped France cripple Haiti into economic depression?

You got brehs like Julius Malema raising hell on the continent while cats call themselves putting in work on a message board owned by a Carribean cat.

honeslty just gotta stop taking some of these nikkas on here seriously. Wasted energy brothers dont engage

Brehs posts always read like a troll.

 

[QueenSheba]

you nikkas mad it took AADOS drip to inspire the African Liberation movement?

Such a waste. I'm not even mad about AADOS wave.

I was rooting for you to achieve your goals. For a grown ass man who spends 24/7 on this forum. No wonder you did terrible in law school.

Log off and focus on being a great lawyer so you can help our people. We need more black professionals not more Ibuccimane who trolls on here everyday.

AADOS energy even waiting up the regal panther on the continent.

You mean #ACL

 

[Master Teacher]

any black jungle cat is a panther by default, that's what a panther is black jungle cat, a panther is black by definition can be no other color other than black
a black jaguar would be considered a panther so would a lion and tiger so calling a black panther is an oxymoron

He's says "they're indigenous to South Africa, all the way up into Africa", at that point he's obviously talking about leopards in general, not those particular two leopards. (at least I think that's what he says, i can't understand white south african accents for the life of me)

That's the same guy who made an entire film called In Search of a Legend, which is explicitly about trying to find a Black Panther in Africa and talks about how there's never been a photo of a wild one.

They're now two documented photos in the last century, the one in the OP and another one also from Kenya in 2007, but nothing official from South Africa or anywhere down there.

Black leopard spotted in Africa for first time in 100 years

Published in January in the African Journal of Ecology, these photos represent the first scientific documentation of such a creature in Africa in nearly a century.

As recently as 2017, only a single sighting had been confirmed—a 1909 photograph taken in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and stored in the collections of the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Their range across much of the continent has shrunk by at least 66 percent due to habitat loss and prey decline.

After hearing about Pilfold's findings, staff at Ol Ari Nyiro Conservancy—30 miles west of Loisaba—turned up a high-quality image of a second black leopard, taken in May 2007.

Since that photo is more than a decade older, the researchers conclude it must be of a different individual, which suggests black panthers are more prevalent in Kenya than in other African countries.

But African black panthers are still so rare that researchers don't even know if the genetic mutation responsible for the dark pigmentation is the same one that underlies melanism in Southeast Asian leopards.

he talks shyt about the African bougieoise that migrate to the west and are in leadership positions in African countries that capitulate to white supramacy. ADOS are the only group who has fought white supramacy the last 4 centuries.

Hmm. One thing I've noticed about AADOS movement on the Coli is that it seems like all of the shytposters are gang gang:

• You, with your dap fishing
• The flat earth believing, tin foil hat wearing @xCivicx
• That dirty hoodrat @Nicole0416
• @Lionel Jospeh's confused, fakkit ass
• @I Really Mean It, with his transparent pandering
  
• @Indiglow Meta (R$G)'s incomprehensible, Canadian ass
• The team of Indian agents @∆y = f(∆x)

That can't be by coincidence, can it?

You're a white who trolls on the internet. You've never been shyt.

yeah right they so rare but he happens to have 2. A male and a female.



perfect stroke of luck for selective breeding.

@Rhakim you could literally google black panther (animal) and find the stats. Its all over wiki too.

Funny how multiple people are claiming this, but no one is producing the confirmed picture of a wild black panther in Africa outside of the two I already mentioned.

I did google and this was the most in-depth article I found:

Mapping black panthers: Macroecological modeling of melanism in leopards (Panthera pardus)

Mapping black panthers: Macroecological modeling of melanism in leopards (Panthera pardus)

The article mentions "reports" of black panthers in several places but makes clear there's been only one proven African sighting (now two):

When we removed all the samples from Java and ran the model again, the output map maintained the high suitability for black leopards on that island, as observed in the original model. The same result was obtained when we removed the only confirmed melanistic record from Africa, with the model still indicating a high suitability for melanistic leopards at the sampled location. Such observations lend confidence to the reliability of the models generated in this study, and their potential to serve as a basis for in-depth spatial analyses.

That breh bout to start a law practice with swagnificent.

the 2 most unremarkable unqualified lawyers of all time.

Need an attorney - "we have a 100% conviction rate for our defendants"

Okay, this is funny.
