VIDEO: Is this a rare black cheetah?

Jon writes: "If this actually had been of a black cheetah in India, it would have been completely extraordinary. Whilst the Asiatic cheetah was once found in the Indian subcontinent, they were extirpated in the mid-20th century, with the last known specimens being a female, seen in 1951, and three shot in 1948. Whilst the Asiatic cheetah does still hang on in parts of Iran, it is apparently extinct across the rest of its range. Whether there ever were melanistic Asian cheetahs, I have no idea. That is probably a question for Karl Shuker. However, the creature in the video is undoubtedly a black leopard. It has the unmistakable shape of its face, and could not be anything else. As Richard Freeman commented: “It’s undoubtedly Bagheera!”"
