Make sure that all your animals and children are inside. If it is a mother panther DO NOT go near it, there is nothing more dangerous in this world than a mother and her cubs. If you see it more than 2 times, call the animal control center and they could probably come out and help you out. But remember do not go outside they are extremely dangerous just like a mountain lion is.
Also be sure to report it to Florida Fish & Game. The "Florida Panther" is a critically endangered species. It is very rare and the only Cougar that remains in the Eastern United States although more and more scattered sightings suggest that the Cougar is making a comeback in the Eastern States where it was once thought to be completely extirpated.

What is the geographic range of the Florida panther?
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.

How is the Florida panther being helped to not be endangered?
today, there are fewer than 100 panthers in Florida. They have been on the federal endangered species list since 1967 and on the state's endangered list since 1973. And they are located exclusively in the southwestern part of the state. Darrell Land, panther section leader with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said, "No credible evidence exists for any other populations. Collisions with vehicles would be occurring if indeed there were undetected populations."From nonprofit groups dedicated to saving the predator, to the Florida license plate bearing a panther's image, to the professional Florida ice hockey sports team and Florida International University college teams, the Florida panther seems to be a species with a great deal of popularity and clout. Yet what it needs most to survive right now is land.How Panther Numbers PlummetedWhat caused the panther to become nearly extinct? Many factors have threatened the panther: man-made contaminants, vehicle collisions, scarcity of prey and immune problems.Land said it is difficult to say how many panthers there were when the animals were in their prime, but "if you consider that the range extended to South Carolina and Arkansas, they must have been in the thousands," he explained.The first threat to panther existence was likely hunting. Native Americans hunted the panther for its skin, teeth and claws. Then early settlers aggressively hunted the cat to eliminate its threat to livestock. From the 1800s until the 1950s, the state of Florida paid a bounty for Florida panther pelts. That's when panther ranks dwindled.The resulting small isolated population led to inbreeding and some genetic problems, including infertility and heart murmurs in kittens. In 1995, 8 female Texas cougars -- the closest remaining cougar population that had shared Florida panther range -- were introduced into the Florida panther population to help increase gene diversity.But habitat loss is by far the most significant impact to the health and well-being of the Florida panther. The panther needs large areas with an adequate number of prey. Florida -- and particularly southern Florida -- has seen increased mining, farming, ranching and lumbering in addition to the influx of people."Today, direct persecution is practically non-existent," Land said. "White-tailed deer numbers are perhaps greater than ever, but habitat loss continues, and the former 'panther' landscape has been fragmented severely by an immense spider web of highways and urbanization."
