Black leopards/ jaguars in UK

[SHAVINGTONZOO]

Quick question.

How many black leopards, jaguars or other big cats are there currently in the UK?

Somebody is rattling my cage over there being "black panthers" in the wild (from Cornwall to Northumberland) and I'd like to point out how few there are even in captivity.

Thanks.

There are 5 Melanistic leopards in the UK at present

3 at Heythrop Zoo
1 at Exmoor
1 at Lincolnshire

As for Jaguar, I believe there are;

2 at the Big Cat Sanctuary
1 at Chester Zoo

There may be more Jaguar’s but those are the only ones I can think of.
