This guy looks real to me. He has a condition called Melanism. It is an excess pigmentation. The exact opposite of Albinism.

    This is not real. Although, theoretically, it should be possible for big cats to have Melanism, there are no currently living documented cases. All photos you see of cats with “melanism” are photoshopped.
