 Unlike the black panther, white panthers have not been selectively bred.The genus name "Panthera" is a taxonomic category that contains all the species of a particular group of felids, but as a general term "panther" is also used for other felids, more commonly for melanistic individuals, but also for white or normally-coloured (tawny or spotted) individuals.White Jaguars have grayish white fur with faint markings on the flanks.
