because of uncontrolled hunting and trapping, habitat loss and destruction, and decline in their main food supply - the white-tailed deer.Only the Florida race is in trouble. As a species, they are holding on well. The white tailed deer is still a very common animal, as well.it's notit's threatenedit had a significant population decreasei used to be common in North Carolina & now it's hard to see in Arizona cause it was origionally diurnal (avoid wolves) & now it's nocturnal (avoid people)The cougar, or puma, or mountain loin, is endandered because people used to think it killed things for fun, so they started killing the pumas! it wasn't until years later that they realized it was just killing to eat and to live.The only race of puma now endangered is the Florida panther. The cougar, or puma, is not endangered as an entire species. There are only reported to be about 50 Florida cougars left so they are endangered.A cougar is not endanger now they might be in Florida but there a many were i live


What year did mountain lions become endangered'?

It depends on where you are asking about. Under normal conditions, either a state or federal agency decides the issue and makes the rule, or law or whatever. However, in California, in a 1990 initiative, the voters decided to prohibit the sport hunting of mountain lions. They successfully ended the ability of the state to use hunting to control animal population for the benefit of both humans and the cat population. Now the mountain lion in California is encroaching on populated areas, killing pets to survive and increasing the incidents of negative human contact and the government is limited in it's ability to protect either it's citizens or the cats. It's unfortunate that a vocal few can force the end of one of the few animal population control tools available to biologists.


What is an endangered animal in Florida?

The biggest animal living in florida was an american alligator. American alligators found in everglades can get 15 ft to 16 ft long and weigh 800 lbs to 1000 lbs. Pythons also are the longest animal in florida, and can grow as much as 8 meters or 27 ft long and weigh 300 pounds or more. Florida black bears are the biggest american black bears ever known and males are around 600 pounds. These black bears are recorded to kill and eat 16 ft american alligators!


Are Florida panthers still endangered?

The panther habitat is disappearing. Humans have industiralized their habitat so they cannot breed successfully. Male panthers cannot get to the famale panthers without crossing roads which is a main killer of the animal. Because of the smaller habitat for the animal there is inbreeding that weakens the panthers immune sysytem and makes them susceptible to diseases. Pollution is also a cause of the disappearance of the panther. High levels of mercury in the water have attributed to many deaths.


Why are animals endangered but not humans?

Animals are endangered because humans are destroying their habitat, hunting them, etc... Humans are not endangered, yet. If all animals disappeared, humans would have very much trouble surviving.
