Manas National Park Emerges as India’s New Hub for Black Leopards
Manas National Park in Assam is now home to about 12 black leopards, with numbers expected to rise following the birth of black cubs in 2026. Musafir Jungle Resort is promoting safaris and photography workshops to showcase these melanistic leopards, distinct from the single famous black panther in Kabini, Karnataka. Manas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, hosts a breeding population, attracting wildlife enthusiasts and filmmakers aiming to highlight this unique aspect of the park's biodiversity.
