Black leopards are primarily found in dense forests and jungles across Africa and Asia, where their dark coat provides camouflage in the shadows. Despite their black appearance, they still retain the leopard's characteristic rosette patterns, which are often visible under certain lighting conditions.
The black coat of the leopard is a result of a genetic mutation that causes an increase in melanin production, leading to a darker pigmentation. While black leopards are relatively rare compared to their spotted counterparts, they are not a separate species but rather a color morph of the common leopard.
With the Black Leopard CollectA again introduces a figurine that is not often found in real life. What we mostly know of a Leopard is the typical colouring for the ground-colour of the fur being a rich golden-red tan, abundantly marked with black rings, enclosing one or two small spots within. However, the CollectA Black Leopard belongs to the 11% that are melanistic Leopards living in the wild.
