Black panthers (melanistic leopards) certainly exist, and they had an example in London zoo for some years. The reason for the melanism is not really known, and of course they stand out sufficiently well in the wild to be at a bit of a disadvantage when hunting - compared to a "normal" leopard.

I've had a few alter-egos in my time, mainly as ghost writers for a couple of websites...

Once I was a devout-Christian from Louisiana, another time I was a geisha living in Rome.

In my opinion, I think people will easily forget about Windows as Steve … Read more

Well, I agree with Andrew's answer to an extent - although lets not forget that Bill Gates is still alive (at time of writing), whilst Steve Jobs has sadly passed away.

And although it could be argued that Steve Jobs was more assertive and more of an 'icon', there's no debating that both these men will … Read more
