Posted by: Canes05 at Wed Aug 24 21:37:52 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Canes05 ] There were several experiments with Texas Cats in Florida. A couple involved releasing them in North Florida, which is part of the historic range of these animals, but well away from the SW Florida area that they are confined to today. In 1995 8 female Texas Cougars were released into South Florida, with the hope of making the offspring of Texas-Florida Cats more genetically robust. Anyway, all the Texas Cats were tracked and some had litters in 1998. With a estimated population of about 50 total individuals, I think it is safe to say that of the panthers that are left, a good number of them are probably still true Florida Panthers. A more diverse gene pool is a good thing though. Just my two cents... | ||
