Black Jaguar
Author: Ghirin
Jaguars, like leopards, have a melanistic form. In these jaguars, the light-colored fur between and inside the rosettes is dark. Even though the coat may look solid black from a distance, the basic rosette pattern is still present and can often be seen when the animal is in angled light.
Black jaguars, like black leopards, are more common in the more densely forested parts of their range.
They are compatible with non-melanistic jaguars.
