The mythical creature was captured by British wildlife photographer Will Burrard-Lucas in Kenya Its sooty coat is the result of melanism, the opposite of albinism, and results in an excess of dark pigmentation The black leopard was confirmed as a juvenile female, travelling with a larger normally coloured companion

Man, that thing is beautiful!
I'm sure some poacher will be along directly to shoot it.
Hope it can be protected somehow

For some reason I'm more scared of this one than normal Leopards.

Those are black jaguars, not black leopards. Jaguars are new world, leopards are old world. Also, jaguars are slightly bigger while leopards are slightly faster.
