Black leopards are very rare. Their distinct black colour with spots are said to be even rarer. This happens because of the leopards being "melanistic", which it is said that about 11% of leopards are. They have a pigmentation that turns their coats and pores and skin black. However, this rarity often becomes the target of poachers and hunters. 24-year-old photographer Anurag Gawande noticed one such a rare creature throughout a safari at India’s Tadoba Nationwide Park this month, he immediately took a shot.
