Melanism in cats; The fascinating phenomenon of melanism in big cats
View through CrossRef
What is melanism in big cats? Melanism is a genetic condition that results in increased production of dark pigmentation in the skin, coat and eyes of animals. In big cats, this condition can result in an all-black coat called melanistic. This is caused by a mutation in the genes responsible for the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to animals’ skin and fur.
