    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_panther

    The Florida panther is an endangered subspecies of cougar (Puma concolor) that lives in forests and swamps of southern Florida in the United States. Its current taxonomic status (Puma concolor coryi or Puma concolor couguar) is unresolved, but recent genetic research alone does not alter the legal conservation status. This species is also known as the cougar, mountain lion, puma, and catamount; but in the southeastern United States and particularly Florida, it is exclusively known as the panther. Florida Panthers are usually found in pinelands, hardwood hammocks, and mix swamp forests.
    Males can weigh up to 160 pounds (73 kg)[3] and live within a range that includes the Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, and the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge.[4] This population, the only unequivocal cougar representative in the eastern United States, currently occupies 5% of its historic range. In the 1970s, there were an estimated 20 Florida panthers in the wild, and their numbers have increased to an estimated 100 to 160 as of 2011.[5] In 2013, it was reported that there are only 160 Florida panthers in the wild.[6]
    In 1982, the Florida panther was chosen as the Florida state animal.[7]

    I still find it hard to believe that with all the bear hunters across Ontario that one hasn't shown up on a camera yet!

    Probably a lot more deer and moose hunters, no? You'd figure one would show on a trail cam... Still, if there are only a couple of hundred (and proably less) in the prov., you could see why it hasn't happened.. Wolves are very numerous in the province (tens of thousands I think) and we don't see them that often on the cams.

    Not that hard to believe, in the past 5 years we (10-12 guys per year) have taken double digit moose and only saw 2 deer and no bears in an area where there are suppose to be more deer then moose and a tonne of bears.

    Years ago while on vacation in Naples Florida I really enjoyed hiking the wild places around the community we stayed in. It was a typical golf course with condo's but it was on the edge of 600 acres of wilderness with lots of deer and at least one cougar. On one of my hikes I had seen a few palm rats a couple of black racer's (snakes) even a pair of otters playing in a pond.
    Any way I came across a set of cougar tracks in a sandy area that were pretty fresh and although I never saw the big cat I consider it one of my outdoor highlights.
