North American cougars are actually alive and well. Their conservation status is "Least Concern," although there are none found east of the Mississippi River, except in Florida. The Florida panther is less lucky than other cougar subspecies because habitat loss has left them endangered.
The word "panther" can mean different things. In Africa, a panther is an alternate name for a leopard - and the Cree language has no word for that cat.In North America, panther is just one of a wide range of names given to the puma, cougar or mountain lion. In Cree this animal is called asiniwacew or mistahkesiw.
A panther is a very large cat. BUT the color can be different some can be black or light brown. Depends where you are. The Florida panther is a subspecies of the mountain lion, and is a basic light brown color, with white underparts and black on the muzzle and ears, black tipped tail.

The habitat for a Florida Panther is the State of Florida. Originally panthers occupied the entire state. Actually, at one time panthers lived from the Canadian border to the tip of Florida. As you go south from Canada, they got smaller. The Florida Panther is the smallest of all North American Panthers. It lived in the woods, pine lands, swamps, and everglades of Florida. Texas Cougars brought to the Ocala National Forest in an attempt to rejuvenate the vigor of the Florida Panther all died after less than a year. However, they may have fathered some offspring that survived. So while the larger Cougars could not survive in Florida, they may bring needed new vigor to a recovering species.
