The mysterious things of panthers Do you ever wonder why people think panthers is its own species? Well let me tell you how they are actually not. Panther don’t even exist even though they do call black cats panthers. Many people say that they are its own species, but they aren’t once you learn that they are leopards you won’t consider them its own anymore. They are related to leopards and i’m going to tell you how they are, but in other reasons they are a little bit of differences between the two of them they have many similarities as well. There actual name of the cat is black leopard. There basically black cats that are called like this. So therefore this will be about how different and similar they look from regular leopards, On how their intelligence is extremely well from other animals/ how protective they are as well, and How their heights, weight and size are different than the other big cats that they are related to or considered. All in all the these topics will describe what black leopards really are. The panthers are exactly like the leopard. why? because they have spots on them that you can’t really see so they are similar by that. They are different looking because according to the World Encyclopedia edition, “All leopards are much alike, but those that live in the forest are darker than those that live on open plains and desert scrub” (Duane 202). Here in this part it explains how they are differences between them on how they look because if a leopard lives
Panthers get energy from food and are carnivore which means they are meat eaters. A panthers diet consist of prey as big mammals and deer, antelopes, and rodents, fish and fruit more. Sometimes panthers eat carrion (animals that are already dead). You probably asking, how do Panthers get their food? Well Panthers hunt for their food with skillful techniques. Panthers are very fast animals and can pounce on their enemies. When panthers run after prey they put their back feet in the tracks that the front feet made so not much sound would be made. If a Panther’s fur blends in with their surroundings they stalk their prey from blushes or trees and then, wait for the right time to pounce on their prey and drive their claws into their back.
The Black Panther had a huge background of history, goals, and beliefs. Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, Ca 1966, founded the Panthers. They were originally as an African American self defense force and were highly influenced by Malcolm X’s ideas. They were named after Lowndes County Freedom Organization or LCFO. The Panthers had many goals like; giving back to the ghetto, protecting blacks from police brutality, and to help blacks get freedom and jobs. They also had many beliefs like;
There are multiple theories of what ancestor the modern tiger could’ve evolved from. But it is strongly believed that like most carnivorous animals; the oldest ancestor of a tiger is a Miacid, an ancient carnivorous animal that lived sixty-two million years ago. Even Though they lived and went extinct so long ago, the similarities with the physical look of a Miacid and a modern tiger are striking because they both have strangely patterned dark parts with a orangish-yellow color in their fur. The evolutionary timeline of a modern tiger is long because other roaring cats are also modern relatives; for example the a Tigers structure is its relation to panthers, lions, jaguars, and leopards. All of these animals are included in the genus “Panthera”. In addition an example of a vestigial structure in the cat family would be the dewclaw. The dewclaw is not used in modern domestic cats yet it is sometimes used in hunting for wild cats, for example the tiger uses it to grip onto a moving prey. But the dewclaw can be seen as an analogous structure for both dogs and tigers because even though they were evolved from separate ancestors they both have similar dewclaws on their
Panthers (specifically black panthers) are mostly found in rainforest environments. This is their natural habitat, but panthers have a wide variety of environments they can live in. Panthers can be found in South/Southeast Asia in dense rainforests. Every animal has effects on its ecosystem, so what does the panther cause?
To understand an animal more, you must first understand the history behind it. The evolution of Siberian tigers started when a fossil of Siberian tigers were found in China. It was two million years old. Even though the animals have different features that make them appear different, they are very much alike internally, including that in the distant past they had a common ancestor. For example, all tigers have characteristics such as; strip patterns,large paws, long claw, whiskers,sharp teeth, long tail, and strong hind legs. The tiger species may have common characteristics, but their

I did my report on the Florida Panther. Playing basketball as a Kentucky Wesleyan Panther, made me want to do research about one of the many species of panthers. These species are going through endangerment and will probably be extinct in the near future. They were listed in the Endangered Act in 1967, so one positive is they have held on for some years now. There are about eighty to about one hundred Florida panthers still living today. The historic range of the Florida panther extends from Florida to Louisiana throughout the Gulf Coast states and Arkansas. These species are distributed all around southwestern tip of Florida. They are all around distributed
In 1969, there was a series of global disruptions caused by people’s dissatisfaction with governments that hadn’t lived up to their promises, and a rise in police brutality to control these disruptions led to an animosity that separated the people and their leaders. These protests were often made possible by institutions of higher education, as these allowed young people to mobilize. For instance, in Berkeley, a diverse college population allowed student leaders like Mario Savio, and newspapers like the Berkeley Barb to mobilize people (Suri 168-69). Organizations like the Black Panther Party turned these protests violent, which became a common theme worldwide. In West Berlin, the Free University mobilized students who feared that the violence
We felt we had been pushed back long enough and that it was time for Negroes to come out and take over." After seeing a pamphlet with the organization 's mascot, Huey was inspired by the imagery and the meaning being the panther, he would soon adopt the animal as a symbol for his later organization we know today as the Black Panther Party.

Unlike other groups fighting for equality, they believed in nonviolent movements.

The cheetah has a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, a small rounded head, black tear like streaks on the face, long thin legs, and a big spotted tail. It’s lightly built slender form is in sharp contrast with the robust build of the big cats making it more similar to the cougar. The cheetah reaches nearly 70 to 90 centimeters (28 to 35 inches) at the shoulder and weighs 21-72 kilograms (46-159 pounds). Taller than the leopard, it is not taller than a lion (shorter than the lion). Basically yellowish tan or rufous (reddish brown in color) to greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered with nearly 2,000 solid black spots. The cheetah has claws and fur, sharp teeth, and a long tail. The cheetah does not molt only mammals with the hard external skeleton molt. Cheetahs cannot retract with claws. With the claws it is able to dig and run which leads us to locomotion how the cheetah
The Tiger, Panthera tigris (Linnaeus 1758), is the largest of the cat species found in the world. Tigers are most notable for their pattern of vertical stripes which can either be dark brown or black, and their fur which can range from yellow to reddish-orange, with the rare white fur present in some individuals as well. Tigers can reach a total length of eleven feet. In the wild they have been known to weight up to 857 pounds (Wood, 1983). The Bengal Tiger is the largest of the subspecies whereas the Sumatran is the smallest. From the paw to shoulder tigers range in height from 2.3 to 4.0 feet tall (Karanth, 2003). Males are bigger
