Does anyone know of an realistic Panther diagram? a friend searches a diagram for origami panther but didnt find something. i´ve searched for him too but the same could anyone help me

there are lots of tigers and lions. maybe if you do one of those but using black paper, maybe changing the folds a little to make a bit more panthery?

Lionel Albertino's leopard from his book Safari Origami might work for a panther.

Can you follow progressive crease patterns? If so check mark leonard's excellent panther http://www.origami.34sp.com/panther.htm The way to do the panther is do the wolf that is explained at that page and then shape it as the panther.

For the record, phil, guepard is French for cheetah.

D'oh I've been calling it a leopard for for the past 8 months.

Slowly working my way through it...

Hmm, considering most of my attempts end up looking gangly I'll enter the monster design competition - wolf please start us a new thread with further information!

Where on that page is the PCP for the wolf? There's one for the flat-looking wolf, but I don't see anything that could have this much detail as the panther does.

There is only a CP and no PCP:

You will need a lot of shaping to get to the panther. The CP will only lead you to the flat foldable base of the wolf, from there on you need to use your own skills to get what you want. Tissue foil is recommended for this model!

There is no such thing as a 'panther'.

The term 'panther' is loosely applied to a variety of large cats, including the lion (Panthera leo), the leopard (Panthera pardus), the jaguar (Panthera onca) and the cougar (Panthera concolor).

In the USA, the black cougar is commonly referred to as a 'black panther'. In the rest of the world, usually means the black leopard.

There are several creatures which people think exist, but the name refers to something else. Another example is a 'pterodactyl'.

Actually the cougar is from the family of felidae and the genus of puma and not panthera.
In German only Leopard and Jaguar are called Panther and most often only the black variety.
The reason why cougar in America are also called panther is a riddle to me, but in German they are also called "Berglöwen" (mountain lions) what also sounds a bit silly.

Edit: Just read at the English Wikipedia that mountain lion is used in English as well.

I know where I live, they're mainly called mountain lions. They lived in the mountains around The Valley. Cougar typically refers to an older woman who dates younger guys. Puma is a shoe brand. And I've only ever heard panther to refer to the black panther.
