Right so. This one is probably a leopard (Panthera pardus), based on Cheema’s body of photos. Not sure if he’s been to the Americas yet, altho I could be totally whiffing on that.
⭐ Fun fact ⭐ The Carnivoran order is comprised of two lines-- the cat-forms (“Feliformia”) and dog-forms (“Caniformia”). Panthers are the “big cats” of the feliform line. They include leopards, tigers, lions, jaguars and snow leopards.
So for example, when someone says “black panther” or (more rarely) “white panther,” it could potentially refer to any of FIVE different species of big cats, based on their melanistic or leucistic coat coloration.

It was just a bad joke with the author’s name, not an actual correction/contribution :)
I appreciate the education tho!
Ah, NP mate, I might have overreacted myself, with all due apologies.
I dearly love animals…
