Black panthers food includes just about anything that moves as long as its prey is not too big or not too strong for it to tackle. They will eat animals like antelopes and wild boars but if they can't find any they will eat rabbits and even insects. They are really good climbers and can also attack their prey from the trees. Panther cubs follow their mums to hunt food and learn to kill prey when they are only 2 or 3 months old. They hunt at night and because they are black they are hard for the other animals to spot.
