Great to see! Save the Florida Panther.

Beachgoers spotted a panther in the mangroves near a Collier County beach as they were walking over a boardwalk leading to the water. Our biologists and law enforcement officers responded to the scene and were able to capture the large cat. After a brief health assessment, it was determined that the male panther was in good condition. This panther was far from an area where we would typically see these animals, so biologists decided to relocate the panther to a more suitable habitat for his own health and safety. We are thankful to the people (HEROES!) who noticed this unusual situation and quickly reported it to us so that we could respond. Biologists released the panther in the Bird Rookery Swamp area of the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed. We will use a radio collar to track future movements of the approximately 2-year-old male panther, which they estimate to weigh about 110 pounds.

Florida residents can support conservation efforts like this one by purchasing a “Protect the Panther” license plate. Fees from license plate sales are the primary funding source for the FWC’s research and management of Florida panthers.

To report dead or injured panthers, call the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922) or or *FWC on a cell phone.

For more information on Florida panthers go to FloridaPantherNet.org.
