Happy Save the Panther day, everyone! It's time to spread awareness and spread joy to the big, dangerous, pawfect black cats of the wild cat world. They are not only beautiful, they are incredibly unique, being that their melanistic color mutation is quite rare.

For that, we've collected for you some of the fiercest, coolest, most aww-worthy panther pictures we could find. Because we know of no way to get someone to love an animal than showing them how amazing it is through pictures. You can click here to learn more about Save the Panther Day.

Hands up if you have a mini house panther! We have a deep love for black cats. Mostly because black cats tend to be misunderstood and underappreciated when it comes to the variety of different cats out there. For centuries black cats have been getting a bad rep but recently things are starting to change. We feel more people now than ever are seeing black cats in a new light, and it's so wonderful to see. 

Black cats are the least likely to be adopted from a shelter but we're here to tell you, scratch that, we're here to show you why you'd want a black cat. A cat black means you'll best friends with a mini house-panther. And who in their right mind wouldn't want a panther of their own? It's like Rajah from Disney's Aladdin, only way cooler.

Mini-house panthers in honor of the Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman. 

When the news of Boseman's death was announced, we all felt deep sorrow. Instead of dwelling on that sadness, we wanted to honor him and his legendary role as Marvel's Black Panther with little black panthers around the globe. 

Rest in Power, Chadwick Boseman. 

It feels like a million years since we last enjoyed a quality Marvel movie. And there's no telling when movie theaters will be reopening thanks to the pesky coronavirus pandemic. To get our fix of superhero goodness, we often turn to memes. And we've put together a crap ton of 'em for you.

Shaaz Jung is an Indian wildlife photographer and Cinematographer who specializes in capturing the great moments of big cats. 

In the following photo series, he provides us with a fascinating glimpse into the life of one beautiful black panther in the jungles of Kabini.  

We've got a big love for big cats. 

How could you not love those giant murder floofs? So incredibly majestic and powerful, dangerous and beautiful. I think everyone secretly wishes to befriend a wildcat... thanks for the unrealistic expectations, Jasmine! 

It's probably for the best though, these gorgeous creature deserve nothing but respect.

There's a small French town called Armentieres that were in for quite a surprise this week. Why? A BLACK PANTHER was spotted on residential rooftops! 

One resident was able to capture pictures of the panther right outside his balcony window and uploaded it to Twitter. 

The Twitter user, Anton Bundle, posted the photo that shows the wildcat casually strolling by as if not a solitary care in the world.

It wasn't long until the authorities got involved, firefighters and police set up cordons to help keep people safely away from the panther as they thought of a plan to capture the panther safely. 

A security source spoke to The Sun, describing the panther as "calm and well domesticated."

"It took two hours to get her in a position where she could be trapped, and then a vet used a gun to fire a hypodermic tranquilizer at the animal as it tried to climb into a window."

The security source continued, "She was taken to an animal refuge center and is in good shape. Her owner is known to police but has gone on the run."

Turns out, as if it were a surprise to anyone, that the wild animal didn't have any registration documents, meaning that she was more than likely a "black market animal" who had been trafficked to France illegally.

Thankfully, the panther is now being held safely at the Protestant League of Lille (LPA) and spend the night in a blacked-out cage, which is known to reduce stress in wild animals. 

An LPA spokesman said the panther is "quite young" and "like Labrador."

The LPA has already contacted a nearby zoo in the hopes the panther can find a new home.
