16 Pictures Showing That Scary Panthers Are Simply Oversized Cute Black Cats
Black panthers are large felines characterized by black fur or black spots on their coats. They are most commonly found in southwestern China and south of Malaysia's Isthmus of Kra.
Like any other wild animals—and believe us, they are wild animals—they have complex social, behavioral, nutritional, and psychological needs. They are not suitable as pets; their natural habitat is the wilderness, and their instincts are quite strong.
When you combine strong instincts with great agility and strength, they are hardly cats you would want to keep as pets.

Black panthers are melanistic variations of leopards. They can grow up to 108 inches in length and weigh up to 200 pounds, while the ordinary domestic cat can reach a weight of 10 pounds. The Maine Coon, the largest domestic cat breed, can reach 25 pounds.
