This article is about the Spanish event. For the band, see San Fermin (band). The festival of San FermÃ­n in the city of Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) is a deeply rooted celebration held annually from 12:00, 6 July, when the opening of the party is marked by setting off the pyrotechnic chupinazo, to midnight 14 July, with the singing of the Pobre de MÃ­.
A black jaguar is the same species as a normal-colored jaguar with melanistic coloration causing the fur of the animal to be very dark or black. Melanism occurs because of a dominant gene mutation of the jaguar. The melanistic trait is a result of heredity.
In appearance, the jaguar is often confused with the leopard. Both cats, depending to a degree on sub-species, have a similar brownish/yellow base fur color which is distinctively marked with dark rosette markings.
