It sounds like a confession of a psychopathic serial killer.

How can an animal be so beautiful but so terrifying at the same time
It's just beautiful
Terrifying? I aint terrified about this marvelous animal, I am terrified about my own race.
@@kashrulez3283 yeah we are our own biggest enemy 😥
@@christenjordan6162 thats right, and thats why you need to be that panther amongst all the sheeps, be focus on your goals and in your life the same way this big cat is focused when hes hunting. I rather be a lonely and anti social lion than a popular and very famous sheep.
Humans are more terrifying to me

The narration makes me feel like the panther is an anime villain omg
Lol same
Cause he is black maybe
Spot on. The narration really gave me anime vibes, like when the protagonist/villain is about to pull his final move
Ikr 😃
You’re a weirdo
This is why I’m a cat lover. They are simply undefeated. So beautiful and powerful. The lion, jaguar, panthers, cougar, leopard, tigers I love them all including their downsized cousins the house cats.
I agree panthers and lions are beautiful cats
Cheetahs
This cats gonna rip u into pieces clown
Say that to a bear.
...try an encounter with a Male bull elephant...all these cat have no chance!!

0:53 that tail wag was so majestic
With the music too
Yes it was. Such a gorgeous animal.
Definitely
@m h he knows he is being filmed and he doesn't like it. It's a warning, like get out of my face.
My grandfather hunted one down
My goodness that Panther is beautiful! So majestic. The king of the shadows!
There is the animal group Panthera with lions, jaguars, tigers, leopards, I think you know what I mean. What is meant by "black panthers or panthers" are jaguars or leopards that suffer from a light pigment disorder that makes them appear black. Fun fact: this can also happen with the big cats listed in Panthera
That's why he's the king of wakanda
Describing how this panther hunts show a perfect analogy of you could be in a dark place in your life and there is still nothing but time and opportunity to progress.
Greatly thought. I will now identify myself as a panther
Dude this is such an incredible comment, "there's nothing but time and opportunity to progress" Fernando. A beautiful way to look at life.

I thought it was just me...ugh!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE ANIMAL IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM .... I LOVE THE BLACK COLOR I LOVE ITS ATHLETIC FIGURE, ABLE TO MAKE UNEXPLAINABLE TURNS, ITS SPEED, THE INTELLIGENCE, IT CAN CALCULATE WITH PERFECTION WHEN IT IS HUNTING, AND WHAT I LIKE THE MOST IS THAT IT IS VERY CRAFT.
You're not alone
The black beauty, very dangerous if contacted. Thank you for sharing, जय हिंद, जय श्री राम।🙏
0:55 “Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it"
Sayak Majumder Bane great reference
"Moulded by it, I never saw the light until it was too late, and by then... it was nothing.. but BLINDING"
Youre crazy
I was wondering what would break first your spirit or your body
DARKNESS BELONGS TO ME
0:52 This certain moment, with the way that tail moves, looks like something straight out of a fantasy movie. Magnificent predator! ❤️
This is the first time i clicked some random guy’s link and was satisfied
@DømiNğø🛻 I thought another spam that I’m gonna report. Thanks
Yeeeeeees.
Amazing scenery and camerawork. Such beautiful animals!
I love the narrator, he gives us a beautiful story to listen to..
Black panther: doing what he needs to do for survival , and maintaining the food chain and balance in nature by only killing / taking that much is needed for him. Human: I am gonna present you like a villain, destroyer and darkest evil of the jungle.

Actually he is not in heaven but sleeping awaiting his judgement according to his works.
Love big cats, my favorites are tigers and black panthers. From the beauty of orange/white fur of the tiger to the black shiny fur with the sea green eyes just beautiful 😍 ❤❤❤👍👍😍
I'm impressed they got a real panther to narrate this.
Take a moment to admire the dedication and diligence of Shaaz Jung who filmed the black panther
Yeah . I knew it was kabini just from looking at thumbnail 🤗

@@orcabube black leopards are called black panthers

Narration style of this documentry is amazing. Gives a whole new experience.. Great work NatGeo
What a beautiful cat, and what a great message! Love it!
**shows a documentary of a black panther** Narrator: **becomes that one edgy white kid in school**

The Black Panthers The Black Leopard.

"Shadows are my cover" this is the best documentary about black panther so far.
Everything I wanted to know about black panthers from a panther's perspective!! Great job!
Black panthers are so beautiful!😍
But what about T'Challa
Narrator: *talking in 1st person Black Panther: You don't deserve to be me hooman.
the panther being all black really makes you appreciate the beauty in a cat’s silhouette
Rarity makes everything exotic . If you ever see purple or green human you would too
Yeah but to call them "black panther or panthers" is wrong cuz its a black leopard. There is the animal group Panthera with lions, jaguars, tigers, leopards, I think you know what I mean.

What a majestic wild beast ❤.
"The brighter the light, the blacker the darkness"

Nice.
It should have been: The brighter the light, the darker the shadows.

Well said
India is so underrated for its wildlife travel
Not only was that badass factual; It was absolutely chilling!
there's not enough recognaissance by the human kind by how much it is hard to film something like this
Definition of beauty+power+majesty = black panther Such a magnificent animal!
I love at 2:03 how he blends in with the silhouette of the tree looks so ominous and deadly all u see is him creeping and the yellow of his left eye
Shawn Black soo ominous, i love the narration .. Id like to know how the females respond to him, & id also like to know if the monkeys have a different alarm call for him? Meaning they accept him as a different species other than a leopard? Or, do the monkeys give him the same alarm call as a leopards? Guess ill be watching!!
At that moment I knew I'd never go near a jungle that has a panther amongst its shadows.
Personal favourite frame of this video. But didn't like the narration style though.
@@murtazashabbir4587 i know shabbir many folks hate the narration but its not so bad

Damn when david attenborough passes we gone be stuck with this wack narration
Hopefully not , they will have to get an impressionist in.
dude! that was harsh.
I agree man!
I had to dislike this video it was so garbage
Let's see yours🤩🤣💯!!!
3:26 man that's some huge leopard right there , perfect way to end credit
Subtle as a scimitar, twice as fast, and three times as sharp. Magnificent.
This Black panther from Karnataka ,India🇮🇳 😊
I am Indian
@Binod Kumar Yadav Pak in Indonesian language is sir 😂
This is Karnataka not pak chutya nagaravole forest
Papá Doc: Panther? If is found in India is a melanistic or black leopard. Panthera is a genus, not a cat species.
Don't lie, how can you be so sure stupid
Omygoodness !!!!! This cat is strikingly gorgeous!!😮😍😍😍💕❤💕💝
you definetily loves BBC... Big Black Cat...
@@iwinlee lmaoo they all love it
Rest in peace Chadwick Boseman. Wakanda Forever!
Every hunt for a Panthera is a Mandatory Stealth Mission. 🖤
Referring to them by their genus and shared characteristic...I like it.
Absolutely beautiful! The mysterious, majestic, powerful yet stealthily Black Panther!
Ajunte Burns it’s a leopard
@@barbarictearemedy nooooo?
@@barbarictearemedy STFU
Panthers can be leopards pumas or Jaguars. It's just a Gene mutation in these cats that turn their fur black. This one in particular is a leopard
Rip Chadwick the real black panther 😢💯
This is the best trailer of an epic drama film I have ever seen!
R.I.P Chadwick Boseman AKA Black Panther (1976-2020) 😭😭😭 WAKANDA FOREVER! Rest In Power! Long Live The King
His name is ' Bhageera ' He is in Nagarahole forest Karnataka. What a name!!
shaaz jung give him a name called ''SAYA'' and he is the one captured him on camera
bhageera is actually the name of the panther in jungle book
@@thedictationofallah bagheera is Hindi name jungle Book based on Indian boy who raised by Indian wolf go and learn about Mowgli history
I can’t see how anyone would not wanna help preserve these majestic animals!
Jags will live Forever!❤
If you live tropical regions in a village you wouldn't see them as majestic as they kill, maim and eat your family
Some people are selfish.
@@maindepth8830 That's because their territory was invaded by dumb humans, if people want to live in a predators territory they need to properly secure their homes and yards! Not the majestic Panthers fault! And maybe those people don't deserve to be around!
@@maindepth8830and we destroy them and there habitat it is humans fault solely we know this animals move where food sources are available Humans can’t be like we scare away your source of food then cut down your habitats but it’s bad they shouldn’t come near us well stop pushing them towards us then 😬🤣💅🏾
Looks exactly like the one I saw back in the early 60's here in Central Florida. A friend saw one in the early 70's while deer hunting about 6 miles from where I saw mine.
3:00 "NOW"
So apparently I was the only one who found the narrator and the way he did actually really good. Never heard someone doing it like that in a nature documentary but i really like it
Africa and Asia.
it was cringe
I hated it
I liked it. The only summer I ever taught summer school, it was to 7th graders (the only time I ever taught 7th graders) and we read "Black Beauty". Guess who the narrator was? And I never knew HE was a HE. It was a great experience teaching it.
Rest in peace Chadwick Bozeman. 😥😥😥😥😥
I believe in the resurrection period in Forgiving Jesus Name Aman
Panther: “don’t forget to smash that like button!”
If you are here to study the cunningness of the Panther, you won’t be disappointed. Unlike most nomads, I actually appreciate the literary effort that went into the narration. Well done!
Welcome to India❤️ where this video was shot.
Saw this black leopard for a good 10 min on 2 safaris ! At Kabini ! Long live Indian Wildlife
Look at that smooth badass. The spirit of the Black Panther has protected Wakanda for ages. For King T'Challa... we salute you. Wakanda forever!! Love ya Chad.
This is the best video ever.
Wakanda Forever !!!!
Wakanda forever. RIP Chadwick💔
I love the idea of the narrator speaking ad if he's the panther. I think it's brilliant and I'd love to see more videos like these.
It's so majestic but the voice made it more magical 😍
THIS IS REALLY A BEAUTIFUL CAT. THE EYES WILL LOCK YOU IN.
0:58 the movements of its tail...truly majestic creature.
Finally I have always wanted to see a record of a black leopard hunting in the wild !
Un-F'ing believable! Incredible shots, pictures of a lifetime!
It's sad that we've lost one heck of a black panther today. Wakanda along with the whole world will remember you for good. Rest in peace Chadwick Boseman. Wakanda forever!

Beyond beautiful!!! ❤❤❤ Wildlife is Shaazjung!
Thanks for sharing! Used some of this info in our first episode of Animals with Ben!
I watched full documentary. In my opinion is THE best animal documentary ever. I don't get why people complain about narration, for me this was super fun to watch. Funny with good script, masterpiece. Good work Nat Geo!
Those eyes! Imagine those peering at you out of the dark 😳. The thing is, you'll never see it coming.
Black panther symbolism is linked to grace, protection, beauty, night, magic, inner power, and even the secrets of life and death.
Majestic beasts!
I think no other big cat can be so mysterious and hauntingly superb like the black panther. It’s such an enigmatic creature of darkness which comes to surface every day in our shining world.
i've watched this on TV and enjoyed it.this dispelled my ignorance about this beautiful, rare animal.you come to know that the black panther,more often than not,lives a solitary life, kind of like an outcast.the narration, and it's perspective were on point; really showed the hardship faced by the animal in a very intimate way.whoever says it's "cringe" or whatever is not getting the point of the approach.
