The Endangered Florida Panthers.
The baby panther's eyes turn to light brown at the stage of becoming adults.It is explained why they are endangered.
"Hey why is everybody staring at me?" " Stop it you are freaking the cat out of me!"
Inbreeding :The case of inbreeding is great. The inbreed panthers suffer from deffects of low sperm count , tail that is crooked,and viruses that they can have. Many have died of rabies which is uncommon and they die also from poachers who kill them for their hide. The endangerment:They are on the big city streets walking around looking for food or a new home. There is many incidents with them . Back then they told people that each panther would be five dollars to be skinned because they caused to much of a threat.
Factoids:Female panthers have up to 3 cubs a litter and only mate once every two years.The only time they mate is in October and thats the only time they will mate for that once every two years.Male panthers have to have 250 acres and female panthers in order to spread their genes . They will fight for territory if another male invades.Female panthers makes a like sound to " Help me " but actually its when they are in heat and are searching for a mate.Only 100-160 adults are known to be in captivity
The reasons why Florida panthers are going extinct:Number one reason is lack of habitat and this is because over the centries man kind took over their habitat and so they are left with none at all. The second reason is lack of food and the less food they have the less will survive. Third reason everbody takes them as the most absolute threat. So who is threatening who? We started it and they are fighting to surive.
Our ESS anaylsis.The causes of air pollution of the methane into the air may cause breathing problems to the panther. To much water in the Everglades can cause them to move away or it can be good its an unstable answer. Atmosphere is clean and this is the natural air we breathe. The Panthers have plenty of water with the water restoration and they need a bigger population of prey so they can survive.
We need your help so we don't become extinct!
