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 its habitat, the jaguar is the top predator. It is the third largest cat in the world; only lions and tigers are larger. The jaguar is stockier and heavier than the leopard, with a shorter, thicker tail. Most jaguars have tawny gold fur with black rosettes, though some are black on black, earning the dark jaguar the name black panther. This name is misleading as black leopards are often also referred to as black panthers.
