:/ I thought this was really awesome when I saw it on my dash a few hours ago, but it looked fake so I didn’t reblog it.
FUCK why aren’t you real?? Isn’t melanism a real thing though? I thought some jaguars had it. Brb researching.
EDIT: Yeah, I was right. Black panthers are any big cat (Leopards, jaguars, etc) affected by melanism.
The above picture is not real. But it is cool. But melanism is real. So is the picture below.
