The Florida Panther is and endangered species. The number of Florida panthers remaining in the wild is probably between 30 and 50. Panthers live in long, connected wilderness areas in the southern part of the region. The habitat includes swamps and marshes. Panthers eat mostly white-tailed deer, feral pigs, armadillos, and raccoons. Hunters used to pose the greatest threat to panthers. Today habitat loss most threatens the panther. The panther does not adapt well to human intrusions and habitat changes. However, the population should remain stable as long as habitat protection continues.
