2. Diversifying the Tribes

The tribes of Black Panther were each crafted with a unique aesthetic designed to evoke the diversity of the African continent and mimic a prominent African animal. That Jabari tribe are represented by gorillas, the Border tribe by the rhino, the River tribe by the crocodile, the Mining tribe by the lion, and T’Challa’s Golden tribe are (obviously) represented by the panther.
