THE BLACK PANTHER. This member of the Panther species differs from the others principally in the dark hue of its fur and the consequent
indistinctness of its spots. It is a restless hunter, killing not only mammals but also birds. The animal in the picture is represented in its native Sumatran
jungle, ready to seize an aquatic bird which has become aware, too late, of its enemy's stealthy approach. (Felis melas.)
Date 1895
