Swift Zulian Panther is a rare epic ground mount added in the Cataclysm expansion (patch 4.1.0). It is a graceful black panther without a saddle or armor, the successor to the legendary 
Swift Zulian Tiger, which was removed along with the original Zul'Gurub raid. The mount drops from High Priestess Kilnara in the Heroic Zul'Gurub dungeon. The drop chance is less than 1%.
The mount journal description reads: "The jungle trolls have long prized panther fangs, using them in rituals and for brewing mojo."
There are three ways to get this mount:

Zul'Gurub exists only in the Heroic version, so upon entering you are automatically placed on the correct difficulty. No manual switching is needed.
Zul'Gurub is located in the northeastern part of Northern Stranglethorn, east of Lake Nazferiti (Eastern Kingdoms).

The dungeon entrance is a portal in the wall of ancient troll ruins. At max level there are no prerequisites for entry — you only need the riding skill.
At max level the fight is trivial and lasts a few seconds. Nevertheless, it is useful to know the dungeon specifics:
Kilnara is the second boss of the dungeon. To reach her, you need to pass through the first part of Zul'Gurub. After entering, follow the main path, bypassing groups of enemies. At level 80 you can simply run through all the enemies — they pose no threat. Kilnara is located in the panther den in the left part of the dungeon.
Before the fight, there are groups of panthers in Kilnara's room. During the battle, Kilnara transforms into a half-woman, half-panther. At max level you will destroy her in one or two attacks without seeing any mechanics.
Check the boss loot. If the mount did not drop, you can leave the dungeon and return the next day. You do not have to kill the remaining bosses.
Zul'Gurub is a Heroic dungeon with a daily reset. Each character can complete it once per day. The reset occurs every morning at the standard server time.
The mount is bind-on-pickup, so any of your characters can obtain it. The more level 80 characters you have, the more attempts per day you get.
In the same dungeon, another boss — Bloodlord Mandokir — drops the 
Armored Razzashi Raptor with a similar chance. In a single run you get a chance at both mounts, so it is recommended to kill both bosses.
During the periodic in-game event "Collector's Bounty," the drop chance for mounts from legacy content increases significantly (up to 5%). Keep an eye on the event calendar — this is the best time to farm.
With a drop chance of ~1% and 1 attempt per day on a single character:
| Attempts | Probability of Obtaining |
|---|---|
| 50 (50 days, 1 character) | ~39% |
| 100 (100 days, 1 character) | ~63% |
| 200 (200 days, 1 character) | ~87% |
| 100 (20 days, 5 characters) | ~63% |
Multiple characters significantly speed up the process. With five alts, the probability of getting the mount within a month is comparable to six months of farming on a single character.
