Question
Changes in the Florida Panther Population
Florida panthers are a subspecies of cougars that live in the wetlands and forests of southern Florida. They are strict carnivores. Their diet consists mostly of deer, wild hogs, and livestock. Florida
panthers need a large habitat in order to successfully hunt, reproduce, and raise their young.
During the last century, the Florida panther population has experienced habitat fragmentation due to the construction of roads, urbanization, mining, and agriculture. This fragmentation has led to
an increase in inbreeding within their population. Inbreeding occurs when closely-related animals mate and produce offspring. Inbred animals have a higher risk of inheriting genetic diseases,
which often reduces their survival or ability to reproduce.
1995
Population size = 26
To conserve the population of Florida panthers, a team of scientists introduced eight Texas panthers to Florida in 1996. Texas panthers are a closely related…
