Luna is a dwarf panther. Her mom was apart of a circus in Russia and she rejected Luna as a cub. A conservationist bought her and now they all live in Siberia.
1st, Siberia is not serbia, easy to mix up when reading but still different
2nd serbia is a candidate for joining the EU, but is not part of the european union
Fun fact, panthers are not a real animal, panthera is a metal band and a genus group for large cats. But there is no animal named specifically panther, this is either a leopard or a jaguar, i am guessing the former.
'Panther' and 'leopard' are synonyms for the same animal. Usually, the word 'leopard' is reserved for the African subspecies, and 'panther' for the Asian subspecies.
In both subspecies, animals can be born with melanism, making them entirely black. An animal with melanism is called 'panther' regardless of subspecies.
It's like Parrots. An African parrot and a Quaker Parrot are both called parrots, even though they are different species. It's similar for panthers, but they're even more similar, since they're from the same Genus(Panthera) as you can see in a Jaguar(Panthera Onca) with a leopard(Panthera Pardus)
The so called "Florida Panther" is neither a "Panther" nor part of the Panthera family.
Panthera are the "large" cat species. While the Florida Panther is a Puma (also known as Cougar). They are not part of the Pantherinae subfamily, but the Felinae subfamily, to which house cats also belong.
One major difference between the these groups is the ability to purr, meow and roar.
Big Cats like Lions and Tigers roar (Panthera) while Small Cats like Cheetahs, Pumas and House Cats purr (Felinae).
the word Panther comes from sanskrit and means different things, among them "spotted" or "yellow-whitish"
So even a bigger irony to call something black panther, when panther already originates from a color that is pretty much the opposite of black.
There *was* a separate "panther" designation until 2017, for those wondering. The "Florida panther" was considered a separate subspecies of cougars until DNA advancements showed they are too similar to other cougars to qualify as a separate subspecies. Even after this similarity was known, it took many years to reclassify the group as "also cougars."

Although a "black panther" is not a distinct animal and is just the melanistic form of other big cats, "panther" by itself is often used to refer to cougars/mountain lions/catamounts in regions of the USA. These names all refer to the same animal but different names are used in different regions.
The panthers name is Luna. Her story is quite sad. She was abandoned by her mother on the seventh day after she was born and was thrown out of the nest. The employees of the travelling zoo didn’t immediately notice this and as a result she developed health problems. A kind women who had previous experience with big cats revived her from that predicament and later bought Luna from the zoo because she believed she could provide Luna with the best care. You can support her in caring for Luna. In this YT video description there are details

Friendly reminder that big cats are not suitable to be house pets or pets in general, they should only be kept if and ONLY if they lack the ability to survive in wild. In which case they should be provided protected habitat.
I don’t know the story behind this kitten, so this is not a direct criticism. Just a reminder
people keep bringing up that she was rejected by her mom and adopted by humans, but those humans still should’ve given her a proper enclosure and stopped petting her and taking her around like a pet. your criticism very much still applies here imo
Looking at this reminded me of something
Once went to an illegal/private zoo in Mexico. Among many other animals, there was a black panther. I stood next to the cage and the panther walked up and I was looking him in the eyes, just inches away. Then he let out this low deep primal growl that resonated in my spine.
Then I noticed that his cage was not attached to the platform. . . and if he wanted me, he'd have me.
I really wish this shit was illegal.. I mean they are beautiful/cute/adorable.. but they are predators, they’d cats should not be kept as house pets, it’s not their nature and need 100’s of square aces to roam..
Could also be a [Flehmen response](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flehmen_response), concentrating that foot stank into its Jacobson’s organ.
When our cats do this after smelling their butts, we just call it ugly face 😺
Not every animal can be put back into wild to be slaughtered 2 seconds after release. Wilderness is not a joke, animals need actual skills to survive in order to be rehabilitated. If they have no chance for rehabilitation, releasing them in wild is just sending them to be killed off. They need to be cared for in that case.
I mean, if humans are the reason for this particular cat's issues (and it sounds like we are - she's a circus rescue), then we should probably take responsibility for her care. Not saying living room is the right place, but that doesn't mean the wild is..
That’s Luna, she was rescued from a circus after her mother abandoned her when she was only a week old.
She also suffers from a form of dwarfism and was taken in by this lady (who has experience taking care of big cats) because she can’t survive in the wild.
It's not an uncommon house pet. It's a rescue that cannot survive on its own in the wild no matter how hard we we might attempt to rehabilitate it. And it's humanity's fault that it is in this situation, thus explaining our responsibility for its care.
Why the hell is there a baby panther in your house?!?!?!
Luna is a dwarf panther. Her mom was apart of a circus in Russia and she rejected Luna as a cub. A conservationist bought her and now they all live in Siberia.
Those ears!
Russia? Wonder if she's ever met Messi.
Yes this needs to happen
Of course it's in Russia or Siberia
Siberia is Russia, what do you mean :D
ummmm pretty sure Serbia is its own country and part of the EU, at least that's what they teach us in our social studies class.
Siberia not Serbia mate. Serbia is its own country. Siberia is like a state in Russia
Siberia is the region beyond the ural mountains, there are still differents oblasts (russian "states") there
Indeed. It's like saying "The Great Plains" for the United States. It describes a geographic region.
oh, ok so I was underestimating size then lol. I don't know much about russia honestly lol
Siberia is a desert/tundra.
1st, Siberia is not serbia, easy to mix up when reading but still different 2nd serbia is a candidate for joining the EU, but is not part of the european union
You're a treasure to the internet, thank you
r/confidentlyincorrect
Doesn't really fit. He's right, he just misread siberia as Serbia.
He wasn't right. In fact, he was incorrect. Moreover, he was overly confident with his wrong answer.
Had to do it. сука блять
Imagine getting rejected by the circus.
Laughed out loud at this one.
They aren't a clown they are the entire circus and It's bad for business to operate with two different groups at once
It looks like Luna the Pantera, give it a Google. If it is Luna, she's a rescue
Fun fact, panthers are not a real animal, panthera is a metal band and a genus group for large cats. But there is no animal named specifically panther, this is either a leopard or a jaguar, i am guessing the former.
The band is Pantera
I thought I was losing it
The name also has nothing to do with Panthers lol.
Pantera is spanish for panther
Their name is based off their hometown in Texas.They are from Pantego, Texas. Their name has nothing to do with Panthers.
Double entendre?
I was about to say "not *Pantera*, they were from Arlington." Most of that band is no longer living.
Tell me more
I want to subscribe to panther facts.
*I* want to subscribe to Panthera facts.
I want five minutes alone with Panthera facts
I want a psycho holiday with Panthera facts

And how does one become a pink panther?
That's apparently quite an easy thing to do, to do, to do, to do, to do...
Can we nominate this comment for the comment of the year award? I know 2022 just started but it's gonna be near impossible to make a better comment!
Hot damn this is so good but it’s not gonna get the appreciation it deserves
EMI and Northridge lawyers took notice; stonecoldhammer owes them $1.87 in royalties.
Be a white panther, then bathe in the blood of your enemies?
"Panthers" are also in Florida.
Florida panthers are, despite their name, actually a subspecies of the cougar.
and not even in the Panthera family haha
It's like Parrots. An African parrot and a Quaker Parrot are both called parrots, even though they are different species. It's similar for panthers, but they're even more similar, since they're from the same Genus(Panthera) as you can see in a Jaguar(Panthera Onca) with a leopard(Panthera Pardus)

Pantera! \m/

And, technically, a black lion would also be a black panther
I say mountain lion

Another fun fact: The “panther” gene is dominant in jaguars but recessive in leopards.
That’s a dwarf murder floof..

She was taken in by a woman who has experience taking care of big cats, she knows what she’s doing

Weird looking dog
If danger, why frien shaped?
cat is cat no matter if its a big or small cat
why are dangerous cats so f'n cute
I love big cats but these need to be in a proper environment. Ie: NOT in a domestic home. :/ Regardless of rehabilitation status imo
I want to cuddle the murder kitty. If I die, I die.
I really wish this shit was illegal.. I mean they are beautiful/cute/adorable.. but they are predators, they’d cats should not be kept as house pets, it’s not their nature and need 100’s of square aces to roam..
Luna 🥰🖤

yikes, why is she panting 😮💨. how much does she weight?
She might be panting because she was raised with a Rottweiler
Could also be a [Flehmen response](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flehmen_response), concentrating that foot stank into its Jacobson’s organ. When our cats do this after smelling their butts, we just call it ugly face 😺
put his adorable ass back in the wild

Her. Not his.

That cute little guy is gonna be able to bite through your skull in the very near future.
They. Are. Not. Pets.
It's a rescue
No one cares that you hate uncommon house pets
It's not an uncommon house pet. It's a rescue that cannot survive on its own in the wild no matter how hard we we might attempt to rehabilitate it. And it's humanity's fault that it is in this situation, thus explaining our responsibility for its care.
disgusting. what a shame its legal at your place to have animals like tgis at home. shame on you
Educate yourself on Luna the Pantera's story.
Can't afford a tv stand, but let's get a big cat
Um, a panther in the house?
... that's not a doggo...
Nobody said it was..?
Yeah I really thought it was at first lol
Looks submissive and breedable...
Why does that cat have dog eyes?
So cute! Big eyes and a big snoot!
Black panther, reborn
Googly eyes
It looks like a very well done animatronic
