Florida panther


Animal index


Welcome to the panther at about 15000 A.D the panther was way up north and was widely known but as time went on and humans made city's there range went a way. At your fingertips is a rich store of knowledge about the panther, its habitat and the fascinating plants and animals that share its southwest Florida home. As you read on we hope you will have a batter under standing of the panther.

RANGE!!

AS YOU CAN SEE AT 15000 AD THE PANTHER WAS UP IN THE NORTH. BUT AS MAN BIULT MORE AND MORE THE PANTHERS RANGE WENT LOWER AND LOWER. SO IN ALL LIKELY HOOD ARE KIDS AND GRAND KIDS WILL NOT SEE THE PANTHER. AS A COUNTRY WE MUST DO SOME THING SO THAT OUR GRAND KIDS CAN SEE THIS GREAT THING. WE MUST MAKE IT SO THAT THE PANTHER HAS MORE RANGE.

WHAT THE PANTHER EATS!!

To survive and reproduce, panthers must be able to get enough food. Females need to establish a range in an area with shelter for the kittens and abundant food. A female panther with two nursing kittens requires 5500 calories each day march 1997, an amount unlikely to be met with only small animals such as raccoons and armadiloes are available. You might review the panther's diet for suitable prey.

CHARACTERISTICS

Most people think the florida panther is like the mountain lion but i can say that is not the case. The panther has not that long of fur and, it is light brown fur, and a white muzzle, chest and stomach. The tail is long and has a slight cook in it,and a whorl of hair on its back are characteristics that make it different from the mountain lion. A maie is usely 7 to 8 feet long and can be 100 to 160 pounds.

REPRODUCTION

Mating season runs October through March. Females are ready to mate when they are between two and three years old. Babies are born after about three months. The mother prepares a den in a dry and protected place like a thicket. The kittens are blind and have spotted coats and blue eyes. In about two to three weeks, their eyes open and they begin to walk. The kittens stay in or near the den for about two months. They are weaned and start eating meat when they are about two months old.

BEHAVIOR

THE PANTHER IS A ANIMAL THAT LIKES TO BE BY ITS SELIF. THE MALES RANGE IS ABOUT 250 SQUAR MILES THAT IS BIG. THE FEMALE'S IS A LOT SMALLRE IT IS ABOUT 70 TO 200 SQUAR MILES SHE DOES NOT A LOT OF ROOM DOES SHE. YOU WOULD THAMK THAT SHE WOULD HAVE MORE WITH THE BABYS AND AND ALL THAT.OTHER MALE'S DO NOT LIKE THERE SPACE TO HAVE OTHER MALE'S IN IT. WHAT HAPEEN'S WHAN A MALE COMES ON ANTHER MALE'S LAND THAY FIGHT. HOW OTHER PANTHES KNOW WHOS IS WHOS LAND IS THAY MARK IT WITH WHAT IS CALLED A SCRAPES. WHAT A SCRAPES ARE IS PILES OF DIRT AND GRASS THAT IS PUT IN TO PLACE WITH THE BACK LEGS AND USUALLY MARKED WITH URINE. THE TIME THE PANTHER IS MOST most active IS AT MIGHT. IN A SINGLE DAY A PANTHER CAN COVER 20 MILES AND IN A SHORT BURSTS HE/SHE CAN REACH SPEEDS OF 35 MILES AN HOUR.
