\"Cat<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nice kitty. While I’m quite fascinated by cats, I’m a little leery of the kind that lurk about in the wild. But the Florida panther is a panther\/puma\/cougar species (or sub-species) found only in Florida, so we needn’t worry about them way up here in Wisconsin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oops, we have our own panthers — and they’re bigger. Well, nevermind. You’ll be safe if you stay indoors — or if you have your mask on — or stay six feet away from them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author is a journalist for the Tampa Bay Times<\/em> and has won lots of awards, mostly writing about his home state. He spins a good yarn that combines natural history, a detective story, and lots of drama. This is a cat’s tale of a nearly extinct species that’s staging a comeback of sorts, perhaps cashing in on one or more of its nine lives to defy the odds of quickly shrinking habitat, too many people, and too many cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like to learn more about the super sleek Florida Panthers<\/a>, they rate for their own page on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service web site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
