Florida Panther is a subspecies of cougar.

Yeah that was a panther, cougar, puma, catamount, mountain lion, whatever you want to call it, all the same.
We were looking hard for one in Southern Utah, Northern Arizona last week, but they are so rare to see. The lady at the Grand Canyon visitor center said they have a sighting about every other year there.

If you find one it's because he invited you to be dinner more than likely. They don't really want to be found unless it's on their terms and that's bad for humans.

well thats silly, why the hell did they name the team that? its not like they were moved there from some place that had jaguars...
But the Florida Panthers (hockey team) does work? That was a panther?
Get all these big arse cats confused except lion and tiger

Guess you don't really like Detroit Tigers/Lions, Chicago Bears, or the Cincy Bengals.

Florida Panther. Were extremely endangered about 20-30 years ago and didn't have a broad enough gene pool to survive so they started shipping in western mountain lions ( a cousin, same species) to interbreed and has brought their numbers up considerably. They are still rare to see unless you're in a tree stand for hours at a time. Occasionally will see one hit by a vehicle on the side of alligator alley.

Common enough
Posted on 3/30/16 at 1:08 pm to Theboot32
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the term panther is a blanket term for multiple species of large cats. The terms mountain lion, Florida panther, jaguar, etc are all regional variations of the same animal.

Explain? I'm not disputing your claim, I have just always heard and read that they were all the same.

Right, but my gf is obsessed with cats, and she still wanted to see one, despite us telling her this. Its not like we were out searching the wilderness for cats, we were just scanning the woods and rocks that we'd pass while in the car or on a trail.

fair enough, usually there is an explanation though, like at LSU
but just knowing there are wild big cats in florida, and having an expansion team however many years ago, you would think the mascot would at least be a big cat native to florida

Um, no. Not at all actually. There are estimates of their only being about 100 left in the wild. So no. Not a commonly seen animal.
Panthers don't roar. They purr and yowl. Their yowl is creepy.

More common than free range tigers in Louisiana
Posted on 3/30/16 at 1:15 pm to ForeverLSU02
Free range Tigers in NOLA would make me want to come back and watch them work. That' would clean up the homeless issue with a quickness.

They are considered a subspecies of cougar but the genetic differences are minimal so cougar, mt. Lion, etc. are all OK really.

No big deal. Your average ot baller would have that thing on its back yowling for mercy like a barnyard cat in about 3 seconds.
