Meet Florida's recordpanther montana outdoor

Florida has a new heavyweight champion in the news outside the state, and this time it is not a gator-es is a panther! According to a social media contribution via FWC, biologists recently summarized the largest panther in Florida, which was ever recorded, a whopping 166 pound man. This is a lot of cats!

This massive cat was not only for a walk when the researchers found him-it is part of a long-term study in which the movements, health and the overall status of the Panther population were pursued in Florida. By adapting Panther's scientists with GPS collar, the scientists can be shoveled in the inside, where they roam through how they do and what they need to survive. Imagine it like Big-Cat Fitbits before with more importance.

Before biologists send these panthers back into the wilderness, give them a complete health check, carry out blood tests and collect genetic samples to keep an eye on the well -being of the species. Each piece of data helps to protect and manage this endangered population.
