I believe the answer is:
panther
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">leopard</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(panther is a kind of leopard)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for panther that I've seen before include "Bagheera?" , "kind of feline" , "Then rap the large black cat" , "Black leopard" , "See 2" .)
