White panther : ウィキペディア英語版 | White panther
A white panther is a white specimen of any of several species of larger cat. "Panther" is used in some parts of North America to mean the Cougar (''Puma concolor''), in South America to mean the Jaguar (''Panthera onca'') and elsewhere it refers to the Leopard (''Panthera pardus''). A white panther may therefore be a white cougar, a white jaguar or a white leopard. Of these, white leopards appear to be the most common, although still very rare. ==Melanism== White panthers may be the result of albinism, leucism or the chinchilla mutation. Unlike the black panther, white panthers have not been selectively bred. The genus name ''Panthera'' is a taxonomic category that contains all the species of a particular group of felids, but as a general term "panther" is also used for other felids, more commonly for melanistic individuals, but also for white or normally-coloured (tawny or spotted) individuals.
