Leopard with the gene for all-black fur, as opposed to the black leopard, which is a species with very dark brown with black spots.
I could be wrong about that... I heard it somewhere many years ago.

Panthera is the genus term for cats such as the lion, tiger, etc.

A black panther means a black cat. Most people get them confused with jaguars, which are black but can also be similar to a leopard in terms of coat patterns. Black panthers also have very faint patterns on their coats too, it's just harder to notice.

Panthera Leo = Lion, for example.

It's a black jaguar or black leopard - both have genetic traits (dominant in a jaguar and recessive in the leopard) which will sometimes create black coats.

Jaguars are native to South America. Leopards are native to Africa and Asia.
