Who would win a black panther or a lion?

Answer 1

Th e Panther is a melanistic Jaguar or Leopard. Lions are pack hunters and are less deadly on their own. A male Lion can have 50-100% more body mass than a Panther or even more in some cases. According to many sources the Jaguar is the most strongest big cat while pound for pound it is the Leopard. The Leopard is far more aggressive then any other big cat and it is said that the Panther (melanistic Jaguar or Leopard) is even more aggressive than the spotted cats. According to many zoologists a 160 kg Panther (Leopard or Jaguar) will defeat a 250 kg male Lion.

I share your opinion , ..... although you can try to find a 160 Kg. Panther !

meaning that Panthers can weigh anything between 40 to 90 Kg.

Maybe in extremely rare cases they can reach 100 Kg.

So a Big Lion [over 200 kg] will surely win against the Biggest Panther.

But a medium-Lion I wouldn't be so sure !

Answer 2

Panther is a generic term and does not apply to a single species. It may refer to a lion - panthera leo

a tiger - panthera tigris

a leopard - panthera pardus

a jaguar - panthera onca

a snow leopard - panthera uncia

The lion is a panther!

Answer 3

I think black panthers would win a fight against a lion.Because black panthers are stronger than lions and even though a Black Panther is smaller than a lion a black panther is STRONGER than a lion. ☺️

Answer 4

Quite probably the lion. Lions are considerably bigger than panthers.

Answer 5

Most likely a lion. A lion is much stronger and larger.

Answer 6

Probably the lioness. The lioness is stronger, larger, and heavier than the panther.
