Panthers Remain A Mystery As Fewer Sightings Are Reported
Panthers have been spotted less and less in the area according to recent reports. This has created a sense of mystery around these animals as their behavior patterns are not well understood.
Some people speculate that the decline in sightings may be due to an increase in development causing them to move to new areas, while others believe that they have simply gone into hiding. Whatever the case may be, experts agree that more research is needed in order to better understand these elusive creatures.
In the meantime, anyone who comes across a panther should keep their distance and contact authorities immediately. These animals are highly territorial and can be dangerous if provoked.
Florida Panthers Moving Northward Into Georgia
The Florida Panthers are a National Hockey League (NHL) team that was founded in 1993. The Panthers are based in Sunrise, Florida and have been playing their home games at the BB&T Center since 1998. The team's colors are red and gold, and their mascot is Stanley C. Panther.
The Panthers have made it to the playoffs twice in their history, but have never won a playoff series. The team is currently owned by Vincent Viola and Douglas Cifu.
On Tuesday, September 11, 2018 it was announced that the team had been purchased by a group of investors headed up by longtime Panthers season ticket holder and hedge fund manager Jonathan Lee Richeson. The purchase price was not disclosed, but it is thought to be in the range of $450 million.
One of the conditions of the sale was that the new owners must keep the team in Florida for at least two years. However, it has been hinted that the team might move northward into Georgia if a new arena can be built.
There has already been some speculation about where the new arena might be located. Some possible sites include Cobb County near Atlanta, Gwinnett County near Norcross, or even DeKalb County near Stone Mountain.
No official announcement has been made about a potential move, but if one does happen it would likely be in either 2020 or 2021.
Panther Population Grows In Texas
The Panther population is growing in Texas and conservationists couldn't be happier.
In November of 2017, a panther was captured on camera roaming free in the Texas Hill Country. This is exciting news for conservationists as it means that the panther population is growing inTexas.
The panther is a large, spotted cat that once roamed throughout most of the United States. However, their numbers have dwindled in recent decades due to habitat loss and hunting. As a result, they are now considered a threatened species.
The panther population has been slowly increasing in recent years, thanks to conservation efforts by organizations like the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). However, this is the first time that a panther has been captured on camera in Texas in over 10 years.
This new evidence of panthers in Texas confirms that the population is continuing to grow and spread out from its core populations in southern Texas. In fact, research suggests that there may now be a breeding population of panthers living in central Texas.
This is great news for conservationists, who are working hard to protect this endangered species. Panthers are notoriously elusive animals and it's difficult to track their movements and populations. The fact that we are now getting photographic evidence of them living in Texas is a sign that our conservation efforts are working.
TPWD has been working with ranchers and landowners to create "Panther Crossing" signs to help discourage drivers from hitting these big cats crossing roads. They have also partnered with local universities to study the ecology and behavior of these animals.
There is still much work to be done if we want to ensure the survival of the panther species. We need to continue protecting their habitat and preventing them from being killed by hunters or hit by cars. But it is clear that the effort put forth by TPWD and other organizations is starting to pay off, and we may one day see these beautiful animals thriving once again throughout their natural range.
Cougar, Bobcat, And Panther All Found In Missouri
When you think of cougars, bobcats, and panthers, you probably think of the wild west or some other far-off place. But did you know that all three of those animals can be found right here in Missouri?
That's right - cougars, bobcats, and panthers all call our state home. And while they may not be as common as some of our other wildlife, they're definitely out there.
So if you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one of these big cats, what should you do? Well, first and foremost it's important to remember that they are wild animals and should be treated with caution.
Never try to approach or touch one of these animals, and make sure to keep your pets indoors at all times. If you see one out in the open, don't run - instead, try to make yourself look large and make loud noises to scare it off.
And finally, if you encounter a cougar, bobcat, or panther on Missouri's roadsways, always remember to use caution and never stop in the middle of the road.
So now that you know a little bit more about our state's big cats, get out there and start looking for them! They may be elusive creatures, but they're definitely worth the effort.
Baby Panthers Born At Cincinnati Zoo
The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden announced the birth of two baby panthers last month. The cubs, a male and a female, were both born on October 10 and are now being hand-raised by zoo staff.
This is the first time in six years that the zoo has had panther cubs. Amur leopards are native to eastern Russia and northern China, and the Cincinnati Zoo is one of only four zoos in the United States with them.
The baby panthers are currently being kept behind-the-scenes in the zoo's nursery while they weigh enough to be grouped with the other big cats. They will eventually be placed on exhibit in the zoo's Cat Forest area.
"It is very exciting to have these new additions to our Amur Leopard family," said Randy Wisthoff, curator of mammals at the Cincinnati Zoo. "Our dedicated team is providing around-the-clock care for these two healthy cubs and we can't wait to see them on exhibit."
