A beautiful black panther has been caught on camera at a wildlife sanctuary in Goa, a state in southwestern India, in what is widely believed to be the first sighting in years.

On May 6, 2020, the chief minister of Goa, Pramod Sawant, posted the photo of the jet-black wildcat on Twitter. His caption read, “A great glimpse of Goa’s rich wildlife. Black panther camera-trapped at Patiem Beat of Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary.”
