It was an amazing photograph!
They’re actually both leopards.🙂 So why use different common names for two animals of the same species?
Melanistic can happen in any species it’s just a darkening of the piment that effects coat color. It doesn’t make it a difference species it’s still a Leopard just with a dark coat 🙄
Mithun is a talented wildlife photographer with a passion for photographing wild cats, especially leopards. One of his recent photographs managed to attain so much attention due to its rarity. The image portrayed a leopard and a black panther a sighting that is as rare as a blue moon. The male black panther can be seen standing behind the female leopard.
Wow looks like a shadow!!!!! Great!!!💕
What makes this image even more unique is the appearance of the black panther as the shadow of the leopard in the front. Both these animals are facing the camera and seem unfazed. The photograph went viral in the blink of an eye and people were fascinated by this stunning sight.
What if they mated their offspring would be fascinating and beautiful😻
Mithun named this image ‘The Eternal Couple’. He said: I can still close my eyes and relive that moment every single day of my life. You don’t see that often. Probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Very beautiful picture a once in a life time ❤
It was no easy task to capture the image as Mithun had to wait patiently in the same spot for six days. It also required years of experience and knowledge to track the panther. However, it was all worth the wait since Mithun captured the ideal image.
Mithun said: I could wait for 6 years for a moment like this.
Outstanding !!💞💞✔️✔️ Panther looks like a shadow.
First I saw just the jaguar with a shadow! Then I realized that there were 2 animals perfectly aligned! What a perfect shot.
Amazing, especially considering the animals in the photo! Thanks for waiting for it!
