A picture of Black Panther became an internet sensation a few days ago, it was going viral on social media. The picture of this black panther was so good that it was shared by people from Facebook, Twitter to Instagram. But the story of the struggle behind the drawing of this picture is told by the photographer Abhishek Paganis who took this picture himself.

Abhishek Paganis captured a picture of this semi-melanistic leopard, also known as Black Panther, in his camera. Abhishek is a Pune-based photographer and clicked this black panther picture in the Tadoba Reserve in Maharashtra. After this picture went viral, Abhishek told the news agency ANI and told the full story of it.

Abhishek Paganis told that 'this is a melanistic leopard, which we call Black Panther. After waiting for over two hours, we showed it for about 20 minutes. It was clicked at Tadoba Reserve in Maharashtra at around 5 pm in the month of June.

Abhishek told me that this was my first wildlife trip, where we were looking for tigers. After seeing a lot of tigers, we wanted to see the leopard on the last day of the safari and then set out in search of it.

He said that before the leopard was sighted, nearby animals started making noise, including deer and langurs. He explained, "The leopard was behind the drinking water in the bush. We had only 20 minutes to click the photo of Il Black Panther. Of which 15 minutes was a better scene for photography.

Earlier in another incident, a picture of a black panther caused a stir on social media. Reacting to this, Abhishek said, 'It was a melanistic leopard, also known as a black panther and was clicked in the Kabini forest of Karnataka. However, what I clicked on is a semi-melanistic leopard, which is different from the other.
