WARNING ! Melanistic Animals Are Rarer Than You Think

Did you know that black panthers aren't a separate species?
They're actually melanistic leopards or jaguars — and what’s wild is, the genetics behind their color are opposite!

👉 In leopards, melanism is caused by a recessive gene – they need two copies of it.
👉 In jaguars, it’s a dominant gene – only one copy and boom, black coat!

Same black beauty, totally different biology.
