    I swear I’m not a besserwisser but I recently learned something I found annoyingly interesting and I’m sharing it hoping you will too:

    Panthers aren’t a species but usually either a jaguar or leopard if black or a collective name for all large cats belonging to the Pantera family.

      I was going to put in mountain lion and figured someone would go “lions hunt in packs!” and tried to use an alternate name. Forgot panther is also used for jaguars!
