*** About Florida Panther: The Florida panther, a subspecies of the cougar, holds an emblematic status in the ecological and cultural landscape of Florida. Once roaming a vast range that extended across the Southeastern United States, their numbers dwindled drastically by the mid-20th century due to habitat loss and hunting. Efforts to conserve this critically endangered species have been ongoing, with organizations focusing on habitat restoration and genetic health. Revered in many Native American cultures for its strength and stealth, the Florida panther also features prominently in local folklore and environmental advocacy, symbolizing the broader struggle for conservation efforts in the region. Resilient yet vulnerable, the Florida panther's presence in art and popular culture continues to draw attention to wildlife conservation challenges and successes.
