How good are a black panther's senses?

Answer 1

Black panthers are not the biggest cats, but they have strong muscular bodies, powerful jaws, and long and sharp teeth. They also have a very good sense of smell and exceptional hearing.

Black panthers are not a species unto themselves, but melanistic specimens of the jaguar and leopard.

Answer 2

Black panthers have sensitive whiskers which enable the cat to feel the way through darkness. The sense of smell and hearing is keen for locating prey in the dark. The senses of the Black Panther help the animal to be able to find prey without the sense of sight.

Answer 3

If you mean "extinct", then, no, black panthers are not extinct.

"Black Panthershave a very big range. Black panthers' locations are throughout Asia, Africa, and Central and South America.

"Black leopards are mostly seen in the hot, dense tropical rainforest of South and Southeast Asia, especially in southwestern China, Burma, Nepal, southern India, Java, and the southern part of Malaysia. Scientists estimate that in Java and southern Malaysia, the black leopards are more common than light-colored leopards. These animals have also been reported in the dry and rocky areas of Ethiopia, the forests of Mount Kenya and the Aberdares in Africa, although they are much less common in these areas.

"Black jaguars live throughout much of South and Central America, and in part of Mexico. They are seen mostly in the dense rainforests of the Amazon Basin; yet, they also have been found living in the deserts of Mexico as well as high in the mountains of Peru and Bolivia."

Answer 4

There is no single species called a black panther. The term is applied to either a melanistic (black) leopard or a melanistic jaguar.
