Florida Panther
Felis concolor coryi

The Florida Panther, the most endangered mammal in the world, is on the brink of extinction. Today there are only 30 to 50 of these beautiful creatures remaining. The reason: Homo sapiens are the guilty species that is the cause of the Florida Panther’s demise. If the Florida Panther is to survive and grow in numbers two things must be done. We must immediately stop incroaching on their habitat and become aware we must help them in their biological repoduction because of their small genetic pool left, or they will soon go extinct.

The Florida Panther is a subspecies of cougar that once roamed the entire southeastern part of the United States. Over the last two centuries our reckless expansion (their habitat loss) has been backing the Florida Panther further and further into southern Florida. Today the last 30 to 50 survivers are found in a relatively small section of southwestern Florida.
