Let’s mildly interest the shit out of this one: While Black Panthers aren’t a species, the class of animals tigers and leopards and some other big cats belong to is called “Panther” (plural “Panthera”). So… Tigers are Panthers while black Panthers might not be.
I somehow threw Jaguars in with the lynxes which would have meant that a black panther that’s acutally a Jaguar would have been a lynx. Idk what befell me there… Jaguars are Panthera, too, so my “might” is not true. Black Panthers are Panthers.

Why would black panthers not be?

Might want to brush up on the singular and plural forms of that word.
