Florida panthers were cross bred with cougars aka mountain lions. The panther doesn’t exist anymore.
If it oinks and runs around in the woods then its wild.
Did they ever put the crossing tunnels under Alligator Alley? They were going to do this so the Florida panther would’nt get hit by traffic while crossing the Alley.
The only reason they ever were a subspecies was because they were isolated from other panther populations. If memory serves they were interbred with Eastern Cougars as a way of increasing the numbers. It has been several years since I spoke with the FWC’s expert on the Florida Panther so forgive my inexactness.
If it is the descendant of domestic livestock it is feral. Just like there is a distinction between wildcats and feral cats.
