Can BOTH a leopard and a jaguar give birth the a black cub?

Yes, both leopards and jaguars can give birth to black cubs due to a genetic trait known as melanism, which results in a dark coat. This phenomenon occurs when the animal carries a specific allele that produces excess black pigmentation. While black individuals of these species are often referred to as "black panthers," they still exhibit the characteristic rosettes of their species, albeit less prominently. However, this trait is more commonly observed in jaguars than in leopards.
