In early 2018, scientist Nicholas Pilfold and his team set up a number of cameras in order to track and study leopards. The cameras were set up in the land of Loisaba Conservancy in northern Kenya. Thanks to the cameras, the scientific team was able to capture this incredible footage of a black panther - or a melanistic leopard - thriving. This is only one of the handful of black panthers that were captured on film. As of 2017, only one photograph of a melanistic leopard in Africa was proof of this mutation living in the area. That single photograph was taken in 1909 in Ethiopia.
