I don't know why I remember this but I believe that it came down to one cat and there was a huge controversy on introducing the Texas population. I do believe that it did happen the way you said.







>>true Florida panthers have been extirpated. I think all the panthers down there are intergrades with panthers from south Texas. The Florida panther population has gotten so bad that they purposely introduced some panthers from Texas, and now I have recently read that "true" Florida panthers are probably extinct.
