Neron is a magnificent black jaguar with beautifully rare markings. His otherworldly coat, a velvet display of rosettes, has won many hearts at The Big Cat Sanctuary.

All black jaguars have rosettes—rose-like markings found on the fur used to camouflage—but only a small number have markings as bold as Neron’s. Like printed silk, his coat glistens.
