How much does a black panther weigh?

A black panther is not a distinct species, but rather a melanistic variant of several big cat species, most commonly leopards and jaguars. These big cats can exhibit variation in weight depending on their species, sex, and geographic location. However, here are approximate weight ranges for leopards and jaguars:

1. Leopards (Panthera pardus):

- Males: 50-90 kg (110-198 lbs)

- Females: 30-60 kg (66-132 lbs)

2. Jaguars (Panthera onca):

- Males: 90-158 kg (198-350 lbs)

- Females: 60-100 kg (132-220 lbs)

It's worth noting that individual black panthers within these species can fall outside of these ranges due to various factors such as age, diet, and habitat conditions.
