    We saw one on a tributary of the flint river in middle Georgia. It was a magnificent animal.

    It's sad that there are so few Panthers left, that it's a big deal to have one spotted in South Central Florida. They should be there anyway. But, today there is only 200-300 in the entire state. You're very lucky to see one.

      When I was high school, 9-13 years ago, there were 80 at most.

      @slider903 Right. I remember back in the 80's or 90's they released some mountain lions to build up the population.

    They shouldn't disclose where the panther is located. People are mean and stupid and puts the animal in danger.

    They will eventually die out with all the Yankees moving in their direction. I saw one years ago close to Myakka State Park. Florida really needs to think about a statewide moratorium to cut back on the useless building and inhabitation of wetlands and forests.

      The population is steadily climbing. There were 80 or so ten years ago.

    So do the gators and the rattle snakes. A ferrel cat can tear you up. What do you think that this panther can do, especially if it is hungry? I don't want to be kitty food. Do you?

      I pray you’re not from Florida with that comment, if you are man the school system has failed you and I’m sorry for that. The black gene can occur in any big cat, it’s not isolated to one. Flordia panthers naturally have brown/Golden fur just like the FIU mascot. So you’re not wrong in saying it’s a puma, it’s a subspecies of a puma/cougar/mountain lion but in Flordia it’s a subspecies coined a Panther. Yes Flordia is known for the elusive black panther but our panthers are primarily the color you see in the video.
