	FPL \| Florida Panther
		Florida panthers are large, tawny-colored cats, once plentiful throughout the southeastern U.S. Today, the remaining 30 to 50 roam only in the remote cypress swamps and hardwood hammocks of Florida south of Lake Okeechobee.
		The Florida panther is on the brink of extinction.
		Florida panthers are killed by cars and trucks, particularly on State Road 29 and Alligator Alley (I-75), and - although it is against the law - hunters still shoot panthers occasionally.

	The Florida Panther Society, Inc.
		In 1982, the Florida’s schoolchildren adopted the Florida Panther as the state’s mammal.
		Re-establishment of panther populations into appropriate portions of its former range is an important part of the recovery process and essential to prevent the extinction of the species.
		The current estimated population of Florida Panthers in the wild is 50 to 70.

	Description Florida Panther- Puma concolor coryi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Historically, the Florida Panther occurred throughout the southeast United States, from Texas, Louisiana, and the lower Mississippi River valley north and east to the Atlantic Ocean, including Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and parts of Tennessee and South Carolina.
		Florida panthers reside in upper dry lands such as hardwood hammock, pine flatwoods, saw palmetto and cabbage palm thickets, and in wetland areas including cypress forests, mangrove forests, and freshwater marshes.
		The Florida panther also often has a right angle crook between the second and third vertebrae from the end of its tail and a cowlick (whorl of hair) in the middle of its back.

	The Florida Panther Society, Inc.
		The purpose of reintroducing Florida panthers into suitable, but currently unoccupied, habitat would be to expand their current range distribution and increase their total numbers, thus furthering the subspecies' chances for survival as a viable component of Florida's natural environment.
		The objective of the research is to enable wildlife officials to re-establish Florida panthers as a self-sustaining population in the release area.
		Since Florida panthers also readily prey on feral hogs and other small mammals, their rate of predation on white-tailed deer would be reduced by the rate the cats prey on other animals.

	SOFIA - ATLSS Project - Florida Panthers - Abstract
		Panther survival is threatened by habitat loss and degradation, geographical isolation, disease, and problems associated with small population size, including inbreeding and sensitivity to stochastic events.
		Recent demographic trends in the panther population are in sharp contrast to earlier observations, necessitating a thorough reevaluation of rules and parameters in light of changes in the population.
		Panther distribution patterns previously attributed to habitat suitability now appear to have resulted from dynamics associated with limited dispersal potential in a small, inbred population with low reproductive rates living in a barrier-rich environment.

	State: Panthers may be moving north
		For decades, Florida's remaining panther population has hunkered down in the cypress swamps and hardwood hammocks of Southwest Florida, driven into hiding in the tip of the state's peninsula.
		Central Florida may not be such a hospitable home for panthers, said Stephen Williams, founder of the Florida Panther Society in Gainesville.
		The panther is a symbol of wild Florida, not only as the state mammal but also as a popular license plate icon.

	Everglades National Park Panthers
		With an estimated wild population of only 30 to 50 animals, Florida panthers are perhaps the rarest and most elusive native animal of the region.
		Known locally as panthers, these large, tawny cats are actually a subspecies of mountain lion, an animal that once had the broadest distribution of any terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere.

	Scientists In Action - Bringing Back the Florida Panthers
		So few Florida panthers are left in the Everglades that the animal would probably become extinct without help from wildlife biologists.
		Panthers used to live all over the Eastern United States, but today the 40 or 50 Florida panthers left in and around the Everglades aren't enough to continue to thrive unless they get help.
		The Panther Recovery Project with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission has imported eight female cougars into the Everglades to mate with male panthers in the hope that these matings will create a more genetically diverse and healthier panther population than the panthers can achieve on their own.

	Florida Panther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) is a critically endangered subspecies of Puma that lives in the low pinelands, palm forests and swamps of southern Florida in the United States, within a range that includes the Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, and the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge[1].
		This is a difficult task, as the panther requires large contiguous areas of habitat -- each breeding unit, consisting of 1 male and 2 to 5 females, requires about 200 square miles of habitat [2].
		The two highest causes of mortality for the Florida Panthers are automobile injuries and aggression between panthers for territory.
