This collection has 22 free panther coloring pages: fourteen in jungle and forest scenes, two cubs, two with a boy, one roaring close-up, one hunting at night, one by water and one on temple steps. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
A black panther is a hard subject for a coloring page, and this set solves it the only way that works: the animal is drawn in outline with the muscle lines showing, and the jungle behind it carries the detail. Leaves, vines, rocks, water and grass fill the sheet around a large clean silhouette. So a child colors the cat in one or two shades and then has a whole background to work through — which is the opposite of how most animal pages are built.
What’s in this collection
Fourteen jungle scenes, two cubs, two with a boy and four one-offs — 22 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
In the jungle
Fourteen pages set the cat in dense growth: stalking low through ferns, walking along a fallen branch, crouched on a rock above a stream, standing under a broad tree with vines hanging behind. The plants are drawn leaf by leaf, so these are the longest pages here and the ones that reward greens in several shades.
Cubs
Two pages soften the subject: a cub sitting up with oversized eyes, and one lying on a branch with its tail hanging. Rounder shapes and a much lighter background — the pages to hand a younger child who is not going to enjoy the hunting scenes.
Panther and boy
Two pages tell a story: a panther standing beside a boy in the jungle, and a second where they walk together along a riverbank. They are the only pages here with a person on them, and the ones that read most like an illustration from a book.
Close-up, night and temple
Four pages stand apart. One is a roaring head filling the whole sheet, framed by flame-shaped foliage — the boldest page in the set. One shows the cat hunting under a crescent moon and a sky of stars. One has it drinking at a waterhole under a smiling sun. The last places it on stone steps beside a palm, with what looks like a temple behind.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper is fine; choose “Fit to page” if your printer asks. If you plan to color the panther black or very dark, use pencils rather than markers — the muscle lines inside the outline disappear under a marker and the animal turns into a silhouette.
FAQ
Do these have to be colored black?
No. The pages are drawn as outlines, so the cat can be any color. If you do go dark, use pencil so the body lines still show through.
Which pages suit a younger child?
The two cub pages and the roaring close-up. Bigger shapes, fewer leaves in the background.
Are there panther pages with people?
Two, both showing a boy alongside the animal in a jungle setting.
Do I need a color printer?
No. Every page prints in black and white; the color comes from your pencils or crayons.
