Description
Black JaguarIn jaguars, the melanism allele is dominant. Consequently, black jaguars may produce either black or spotted cubs, but a pair of spotted jaguars can only produce spotted cubs.
Thanks for looking in.

It was great to see a Black Jaguar out and about.. we see so little of the one at Chester Zoo in his rainforest style habitat.. excellent shot.. he is really nicely framed with his tail up to.. also nicely processed to get accurate colours and still retain his patterned markings within his black fur.. cool work!

Yeah it was so totally great to see this guy out and about strutting his stuff.. a bit difficult getting a sharp image with him constantly moving around but I think this one was the best of the bunch.. Cheers for the cool words man.
