Here is a link to a a four-part series focusing on Florida panthers in the wild: Florida panthers
The Florida panther is an endangered population of Puma concolor residing in southern Florida. Most people in the US know Puma concolor as mountain lions or cougars, although there are many common names.
Although they were almost extirpated from the everglades due to anthropogenic forces and inbreeding depression, they are one of the US's wildlife conservation genetics success stories. The population rebounded from less than 30 in the 1980s to over 150 panthers.
