What is the geographic range of the Florida panther?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Florida swamp forests, if the Florida panther is a race of the cougar unto itself. Recent evidence shows that this race may be the remnant population of the eastern cougar, found until the late 19th century across the eastern U.S and Canada.
