People call Cougars “Panthers” also, but they’re not Pantera family.

Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoI 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!
