Can the Florida Panther Survive Without the Everglades?

💡 The Answer

• The Everglades provides critical habitat for the last remaining Florida panthers.
• These cats require large territories of 200+ square miles each.
• The Everglades offers prey like deer and feral hogs.
• Without this protected ecosystem, fragmentation and genetic problems would worsen.
• Conservation efforts depend on connecting panther corridors across south Florida.
