Florida Panther Photo of Wildlife

Historically, the Florida panther ranged throughout the southeastern United States. However, following years of persecution and habitat loss, there are about 80 Florida panthers occupying only 5 percent of their historic range. With current conservation and scientific efforts underway, the Florida panther has a fighting chance at survival.
