"Unique image: Panther photographed in Africa,"

"A black panther has been caught on the picture in Kenya. It is the first time in 100 years that the uniqueness of the animal captured in Africa."

"The black leopard, or panther as it is known, is extremely rare. Until now, there was really only one verified photograph of a black african leopard. It was taken in 1909 in Ethiopia, writes CNN. Now showing biologists up completely new photos taken on a leopard in Kenya."

"– most Likely the black leopards existed in Kenya all the time, it is the only high-resolution images in order to confirm what has been missing, until now, " says biologist Nick Pilfold to the channel."

"the dream image of the photographer"

"Nick Pilfolds working group had placed wireless cameras in order to identify the number of leopards when they were told that a black panther had been sighted."

"– We increased the number of cameras in the area where it had been seen. Within a few months, we received dividends in the form of several observations on our cameras, " he says."

"The black female's fur is pitch black because of melanism. It means that the animal will have a darker color, as a result of the high concentration of dark pigment. The opposite is called for the eyes as for example is the reason that the world-renowned elk in Värmland is white."

"the Photographer who took the picture, Will Burrard-Lucas, describes the panther in a blog post."

"”No animal is more mysterious, no animal is more elusive, and no animal is more beautiful,” he writes."

"For him, it has long been a dream to capture the black animal on the picture. Now it is fulfilled."
