Super cool picture!

Did you know that all black panthers have spots? They're just so dark you can't see them very easily unless they are under the bright sunlight.

@Pezzie This is stunning and takes my breath away! I recently moved to Florida and have yet to see the Black Panthers.

Gorgeous cats. I wonder when they quit courting and get down to business?

Just WOW! Mithun defied the odds to capture a perfect moment. One that is likely a once in a lifetime opportunity. It's perfection.

Thank you for the gorgeous photo of these magnificent big cats! I love all cats, but these are truly special. Many thanks to the photographer for his patience. Who knows how many more years we will be able to see such beauty? So grateful for the efforts of the wildlife preserves and many private sanctuaries all over the world. We have so many worthy rescue organizations in the U.S. I donate as much as I can and will be making bequests in my will. Something to think about.

@Pezzie - What a stunning picture! And thank you for the story that goes with it!

I enjoyed reading that Cleo calls the shots and Saaya demurs to her! There are strong females in all species of the animal kingdom, including the human part. I imagine they've had cubs by now, but I'm sure they're experts at protecting their babies from humans and others who would not leave the cubs alone.
