Almost impossibly beautiful. And not only beautiful, but a lovely temperament too. What more could you ask?

I finally built a Panther... I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with it and so I may will revisit the one or other area later again.

Our big beautiful cat. My prayer is that their numbers rebound, and we leave their territory alone, an ensure it is preserved.

Queso the Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) gets hungry often. He is, after all, a growing boy of only 9 months. Thankfully, he comes equipped with one of the most incredible food-grabbing appendages since the opposable thumb!
He is a sharp-shooter. Sure, he has googly eyes that forever seem frenetically pointed in different directions, but when a tasty meal comes into view, those eyes … well, those eyes focus. He will train both on his target to hone his depth perception and arm his tongue with the information it needs. That tongue is comprised of three components: the sticky tip, the accelerator muscles, and the retracting muscles. Hollow in composition, the tongue rests at the back of the mouth against the hyoid bone (we have these!) and the cartilaginous hyoid spike (drats, we don’t have these). Upon spying the insect, Queso lines up his entire head and fires his tongue—which is ~1.5 times his body length—by constricting his accelerator muscles against the hyoid horn. The sticky, somewhat grasping tip does the rest!
I decided to give my panther a complete rebuild and this is the result.
The turret design is mainly by mj louder. Thanks to him for letting me use it.
Thanks to TheLegoLukas for tips and additional information.
Comments and feedback are always appreciated ;-)
I don't get the chance to do much for Scottish operators - think last year's Austins of Earlston are pretty much everything so far - but here's a pair of Citylink Panthers heading over the border.
Challenging livery to do, but not bad for a first attempt.
You must always remember that the camera is merely a box with a hole in it which transmits light onto a light sensitive surface to make an image. Everything else is superfluous. - Scott Eric Williams
The gorgeous and Vampy Julia Panther have graced my studio all the way from the U.S of A. Was a pleasure to have her over, not only she is beautiful but she's a lovely person as well!

DER PANTHER
IM JARDIN DES PLANTES, PARIS
Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehn der Stäbe
so müd geworden, daß er nichts mehr hält.
Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe
und hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt.
Der weiche Gang geschmeidig starker Schritte,
der sich im allerkleinsten Kreise dreht,
ist wie ein Tanz von Kraft um eine Mitte,
in der betäubt ein großer Wille steht.
Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang der Pupille
sich lautlos auf –. Dann geht ein Bild hinein,
geht durch der Glieder angespannte Stille –
und hört im Herzen auf zu sein.
R.M. Rilke
English:
THE PANTHER
His weary glance, from passing by the bars,
Has grown into a dazed and vacant stare;
It seems to him there are a thousand bars
And out beyond those bars the empty air.
The pad of his strong feet, that ceaseless sound
Of supple tread behind the iron bands,
Is like a dance of strength circling around,
While in the circle, stunned, a great will stands.
But there are times the pupils of his eyes
Dilate, the strong limbs stand alert, apart,
Tense with the flood of visions that arise
Only to sink and die within his heart.
R.M. Rilke
... She was magnificent. She might have been bred from pleasure slaves and she-panthers. She was sinuous and arrogant, desirable, dangerous, feline. I had little doubt that she was swift of mind. She was surely proud and haughty. She was lithe. She was perhaps two inched taller than the average Gorean woman, and yet, due to the perfections of her proportions, as vigorous and stunning as a girl bred deliberately in the slave pens for such qualities. She looked down upon me....
I had little doubt but what this was Verna who now examined me. None but the acknowledged leader of the band, whose authority was undisputed, could have so looked upon a prisoner, dispassionately, objectively, serene in her power over his life and body. It was up to her, what was to be done with me. It was she, more than the others, to whom I belonged. I, and my men, were hers.
...She looked up. The moons were now over the trees. She looked down upon me, in her gold and brief skins.
"Long ago," she said, "I determined that it would be I who would rule." She laughed, and thrust her foot against the side of my waist.
"And it will be such as you," she smiled, "who will serve."

Taken on a macro day with Wild Arena... this seven month old kept us on our toes
a fast mover! was good to see him on the greenery, but also did the usual on the wood as well.
The Dreaded Outlaw swamp in the south of Roawia shelter many large and fierce beasts, but there are none larger, more feared, or more deadly than the Fen Panther. This enormous creature is bulging with muscle, its power, agility, and strength are almost beyond comprehension. With one swipe of its paw it can send a line of spearmen hurling through the air. Beware the swamps!

I arrived home from Florida last night and was able to sort down the scrapped remains of my last three builds, and I was also able to build this guy.
This was so much fun to make!
I had never tried building a large brick built animal before. :)
BTW, this is my entry to the “Like a Boss” contest over at the LCN.
Be sure to check out the Set on Flickr
Great Inspirations tagged. ;)
You will probably see this guy in my next CCCX entry too. ;)
While considering all of the stats and hoping for the best commercials ever in tonight's big game there is still one question. Don't Panthers eat Broncos?
For best view is on black

Leopard or panther (Panthera pardus) killed a waterbuck calf that walked under the tree, but had to abandon her kill as the mother of the calf attacked her. The Leopard couldn't lift the carcass up the tree so had to stay in the tree while the mommy waterbuck tried to revive her calf. It was both exciting to witness this (Although most happened in the undergrowth) but also quite tragic as the mom's instinct and bond was so strong that she was absolutely fearless regarding the leopard. So brave and sad. Unfortunately she was too late.
Ein schwarzer Panther oder schwarzer Panter ist ein Leopard (Panthera pardus), dessen Fell eine durchgehend schwarze Färbung aufweist, statt wie üblich schwarze Rosetten auf einem gold-gelben Grund. Unter günstigen Lichtverhältnissen ist die eigentlich gefleckte Fellzeichnung aber immer noch zu erkennen. Es handelt sich bei diesen Panthern also nicht um eine eigene Art, sondern um eine Form des Melanismus. Neben diesen werden auch schwarze Jaguare (Panthera onca) sowie andere Katzenarten als Panther bezeichnet.
Bei den Leoparden entsteht die Schwarzfärbung durch die Vererbung eines rezessiven Gens. Das rezessive Gen kann auch bei den normalfarbenen vorhanden sein, da es durch das dominante Gen, welches für die Gelbfärbung verantwortlich ist, unterdrückt wird und somit keinen Einfluss auf die Fellfarbe gewinnt. Eine Weitervererbung des rezessiven Gens durch normalfarbene Tiere ist möglich, so dass schwarze Leoparden in einem Wurf vorhanden sein können, sofern beide normalfarbigen Elternteile Träger des für die Schwarzfärbung verantwortlichen rezessiven Gens sind. Im Gegensatz zum Leoparden ist das für die Schwarzfärbung verantwortliche Gen beim Jaguar dominant, so dass schwarze Jungtiere bereits dann auftreten können, wenn nur ein Elterntier das Gen aufweist. Dies bedeutet auch, dass normalfarbige Jungtiere entstehen können, wenn die Eltern schwarz gefärbt sind, jedoch beide Elternteile das rezessive Gen für die gemusterte Farbgebung in sich tragen.

A black panther is the melanistic color variant of any big cat species. Black panthers in Asia and Africa are leopards (Panthera pardus), and those in the Americas are black jaguars (Panthera onca)

Leopard
Data on the distribution of leopard populations indicates that melanism occurs in five subspecies: Javan leopard (P. p. melas), African leopard (P. p. pardus), Indian leopard (P. p. fusca), Indochinese leopard (P. p. delacouri) and Sri Lankan leopard (P. p. kotiya). Black leopards are common in the equatorial rainforest of the Malay Peninsula and the tropical rainforest on the slopes of some African mountains such as Mount Kenya. Melanistic leopards are common in Java, and are reported from densely forested areas in southwestern China, Myanmar, Assam and Nepal, from Travancore and some parts of southern India where they may be more numerous than spotted leopards. In Africa, melanistic leopards have been reported only in Ethiopia and Aberdare Mountains in Kenya. Unconfirmed reports exist also in South Africa and in northern Iran. Based on records from camera-traps, melanistic leopards occur foremost in tropical and subtropical moist forests, but have not been recorded in temperate forest, open and arid habitats.
The taxonomic status of captive black leopards and the extent of hybridization between different subspecies is uncertain. Therefore, coordinated breeding programs for black leopards do not exist in European and North American zoos. Black leopards occupy space needed for breeding of endangered leopard subspecies and are not kept within the North American Species Survival Plan.
A pseudo-melanistic leopard has a normal background color, but the spots are more densely packed than normal and merge to obscure the golden-brown background color. Any spots on the flanks and limbs that have not merged into the mass of swirls and stripes are unusually small and discrete, rather than forming rosettes. The face and underparts are paler and dappled like those of ordinary spotted leopards.
