Malaysia is home to many majestic flora and fauna, some of which can’t be found anywhere else in the world.

One of which is the black panther, whereby the Malay Peninsula was actually home to the largest population in the world. However, its natural habitat is vastly getting smaller thanks to deforestation.

Sadly, our country lost a native male adult black panther yesterday after it was hit by an MPV while crossing the road in Negeri Sembilan.

Going viral on social media, like this post by the Facebook page Inforoadblock, a black panther can be seen in a video struggling to walk and had visible injuries on its body as it goes under an idle lorry.

In a follow-up video, the black panther can be seen non-responsive inside a drain while road users took photos and videos of it.

As reported by BERNAMA, Jelebu district police chief DSP Maslan Udin confirmed that the adult male panther, weighing 40kg, died at the scene after being hit by a Honda Odyssey MPV driven by a 38-year-old man with his family.

The incident happened at kilometre 19 of Jalan Seremban-Simpang Pertang near Bukit Tangga, Negeri Sembilan.

Maslan Udin asserted, “As the vehicle was making a right turn down the hill, a panther suddenly crossed from the right side of the road, causing the man to hit the animal as he had no time to swerve.”

“As a result, the panther managed to make its way to a nearby drain about four metres away but died at that location. The man and his family did not suffer any injuries.”

The remains of the black panther were handed over to the Negeri Sembilan Department of Wildlife Protection and National Parks (Perhilitan) for further action.
