The florida panther is a large carnivore [1]
The Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) has been federally listed as endangered since the inception of the United States Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1967 and the subsequent Endangered Species Act of 1973.[2]
Florida panthers used freshwater marsh (6 percent) and agriculture and pasture (5 percent) habitats sparingly,even though these two habitats together comprised 50 percent of the available habitat in the region.[3]
