👉 Pantherina is a term referring to a group of mammals that primarily inhabit large, dense forests in Africa, with some species living in grasslands and savannas as well. These mammals are known for their striking black coloring, which helps them blend into their surroundings. They have a distinctive high-pitched barking sound and are known for their keen senses, including the ability to detect prey from distances of up to 20 kilometers (12 miles).
