    The Florida Panther (Puma concolor couguar<\/em>) is a distinct population of North American cougars that numbers less than 250 individuals.\u00a0 Inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity in remaining panthers is believed to be depressing fitness (survival and reproduction).\u00a0 A variety of factors has led to the panther’s decline, including habitat loss and car collisions.<\/h5> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
