The Pink Panther (Panthera pardus
roseus Khalaf, 2013) : A New Leopard
Subspecies from South Africa
By: Prof. Dr. Sc. Norman Ali Bassam Ali Taher
Khalaf-Sakerfalke von Jaffa
Abstract: A pink-hued male leopard was seen and photographed at
South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve in April 2012. Several leopard
taxidermies found in some museums have also a pinkish to reddish
colouration. This leopard is distinguished from the other Panthera
pardus subspecies by its distinctive pinkish coat colouration. It is
morphologically a distinct subspecies. The new subspecies was named
Panthera pardus roseus Khalaf, 2013.
