Mysterious and elegant, the black panther fascinates with its stealthy appearance and dark coat. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a separate species but a color variant of the leopard or jaguar, due to an excess of melanin. Its spots, called rosettes, remain visible in sunlight despite its black coat.
A formidable hunter, the black panther moves silently through the jungle or savannah. Agile and discreet, it climbs trees with ease and knows how to swim to surprise its prey. Surprisingly, its great adaptability allows it to live in a wide variety of environments, ranging from tropical forests to mountainous regions.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the black panther: its slender body, its piercing gaze and its dark coat with subtle details. An essential model to enrich a collection of wild animals , invent captivating stories or raise children's awareness of the diversity of big cats.
