Wildlife Spotlight: Florida Panther

Florida panther

In 1973, working for the World Wildlife Fund Roy McBride and his hounds
treed an aged Florida panther female in the vicinity of Fisheating Creek,
confirming that panthers did indeed still exist in Florida. At the time,
the Florida panther was among the most endangered animals in the world.
Since then several young males have been documented dispersing from
the core population area to the south through Fisheating Creek. The
area may become even more important to the Florida panther as its population
continues to expand.
