Do black panthers live in the forest floor?

No, black panthers do not live on the forest floor. Black panthers are actually melanistic variants of leopards (Panthera pardus) or jaguars (Panthera onca), which are large cats that typically inhabit dense forests, grasslands, and other types of habitats. They do not specifically dwell on the forest floor but rather exhibit arboreal behavior, meaning they spend a considerable amount of time resting, hunting, and moving in the trees.
