They are strict carnivores. Their diet consists mostly of deer, wild hogs, and livestock. Florida panthers need a large habitat in order to successfully hunt, reproduce, and raise their young. During the last century, the Florida panther population has experienced habitat fragmentation due to the construction of roads, urbanization, mining, and agriculture. This fragmentation has led to an increase in inbreeding within their population. Inbreeding occurs when closely-related animals mate and produce offspring. Inbred animals have a higher risk of inheriting genetic diseases, which often reduces their survival or ability to reproduce. 1995 Population size = 26 To conserve the population of Florida panthers, a team of scientists introduced eight Texas panthers to Florida in 1996. Texas panthers are a closely related…arrow_forwardWhich two extinction risks may be a direct result of the pet trade? a. climate change and exotic species introduction b. habitat loss and overharvesting c. overharvesting and exotic species introduction d. habitat loss and climate changearrow_forward
