A black panther is the melanistic colour variant of any Panthera species. Black panthers in Asia and Africa are leopards and black panthers in the Americas are black jaguars.
Also called the smaller apes or lesser apes, gibbons differ from great apes in being smaller, exhibiting low sexual dimorphism, and not making nests.
Elephants are herbivorous and can be found in different habitats including savannahs, forests, deserts and marshes. They prefer to stay near water. They are considered to be keystone species due to their impact on their environments. Other animals tend to keep their distance; predators such as lions, tigers, hyenas and wild dogs usually target only the young elephants (or “calves”).
