So iirc, black panthers are just leopards with more melanin or like a black color gene. I’m pretty sure they are basically the same kind of cat!

Backstory of this shot: this is actually a mated pair! The leopard is the female, named Cleopatra, and the panther is the male, Saaya (Hindi for "Shadow"). They live in the Kabini forest in India.
