I don’t know how common they are out there, but the Florida panther subspecies is almost extinct.
A cat like that has a range of about 120 square miles. As fat as it is someone has been baiting for the commissioner. His term in office is soon up if he is not fired. He will never get reapproved.
Is this slow-pitch softball?
Earth to gleeaikin: The "Florida panther subspecies" is a bureaucrat/activist scam; it's the SAME species. Worse, the "panthers" they "reintroduced" to bump up the population were from Texas which (being bigger) quickly bred out whatever (if anything) was left of a unique Florida variety.
What you've got down there now are mountain lions from Texas.
