=== 黑豹 ===
[[黑豹]]并不是一个单独的物种或者亚种。黑豹指的是体内黑化[[隐性基因]]呈[[显性]]而全身呈现黑色的豹。黑豹幼崽和普通颜色的幼崽有可能混杂在同一胎中出生。和一般的豹子黄色的眼睛不同，黑豹的眼睛常为灰绿色，身上的斑点和斑圈透过黑色的皮毛仍然隐约可见。虽然黑豹的颜色会使它看上去与众不同，但是在夜间捕食时全身黑色反而会是一个优势。<ref>{{Cite web | title = PANTHER | url = http://a-z-animals.com/animals/panther/ | language = en | accessdate = 2014-02-13 | archive-date = 2021-04-26 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210426074820/https://a-z-animals.com/animals/panther/ | dead-url = no }}</ref><ref name=bp01>{{Cite web | title = Black Panthers Black Panther | url = http://bigcatrescue.org/black-panthers/ | author = BigCatRescue | language = en | accessdate = 2014-02-13 | archive-date = 2021-04-26 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210426125235/https://bigcatrescue.org/black-panthers/ | dead-url = no }}</ref>

报道过有黑豹出没的地区包括中国西南地区，缅甸，尼泊尔，印度南部和爪哇岛等<ref>{{Cite book | title = Near fixation of melanism in leopards of the Malay Peninsula | url = http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1469-7998.2010.00731.x/abstract | author = K.

在人工饲养环境中为了刻意繁殖黑豹人们会选择有亲缘关系的个体进行交配，这使人工饲养的黑豹种群面临近亲交配的威胁。调查显示黑豹的繁殖率比一般的豹相对低下。
