To be honest, I feel like the two panthers just got caught. Basic predatory instincts, “stalk prey in a stealthy manor”. The person who recorded the video just spotted the predator, by keeping still he just turned the game.

I wouldn’t take them lightly. Whenever I went into the enclosed room she had for feeding I always felt as if the panther was looking to pull me into the fence. I only went into the enclosure a few times before I stayed outside and watched from the window.... beautiful animals however not worth possibly getting mauled.

Both sighting were fleeting sightings and I only saw them for a moment. Florida cougars are even more rare than they are in New England.

I am one of those too which are very lucky to have seen a Florida Panther in the wild. It was quite a number of years ago that my two kids and their Mom was driving along the road to Flamingo in Everglades National Park. It was in the fall and there were no other cars on this road. So any way as we were driving along all at once this big " cat " slowly up over side of the road and then across the road and down the other side. There was no mistake about it , it was a Florida Panther. We were dumb founded and so lucky.

At first I thought” wow someone’s dog has a serious licking problem”😂 then it hit me and I took my ass back home 😂

@@FingerGamers3 They've rebounded, some range all the way into north Florida/Georgia now. They're far more common in central south Florida though, especially around big cypress. I saw a lot of them in Hendry/Glades area. They have a natural fear of humans from being shot on sight up until relatively recently. As they go further though I'd recommend anybody watch their kids outside and keep any pets indoors they don't mind being eaten. Those are the main risks, same with coyotes, and bobcats though.

@@nofaithjusthope8714 I have. I knew a lady here in Naples that had four Eurasian lynx and one female Florida panther she named Nela. There’s quite a large community of big cat people that are around especially here in south west Florida. She got her cats throughout jungle Larry & jungle Jane who had major ties to the zoo here in Naples. The Lynx are pretty much twice the size of domestic cats. The female panther was for sure 6 foot and more from muzzle to tail. Don’t think for one second these Florida panthers wont pounce on someone if they’re hungry..... the owners told me more than once that you can never take the wild out of wild animals..... this woman lived in the Everglades. You should have seen all she had to do with these big cats when the Everglades were on fire a few years ago.... not like you can pack all these cats up and head over to the Hilton until the flames pass.

If I recall correctly, the animals (regional) name is the Puma not panther. These are "Everglades Cougars", if you will. "Panther" or "Panthera" is the genus for (4) much larger species of big cats, of which, this particular cat does not fall under. Regardless of that though - that is one hell of an "encounter"! I'd love to have the opportunity to see several wild animals like this!

@@romeisburning6739 so my brother and i were hiking the FT and decided to split up for the night. We had started to get a bit frustrated at each other. Anyway, when i stopped for the night i hadn't seen a good spot in a few miles and i was beat carrying about 50lbs. I settled for a little clearing right next to the trail as the sun set. It wasnt a great spot at all but i was tarp camping so i had to get set up quickly and only had about 20min of light left when i settled for the spot. As soon as i got my tarp set up and began to collect some wood for a small fire i heard something creeping around the shrubs nearby. My first thought was an armadillo because it was very little noise. Then it continued with less of a scurrying sound than an armadillo. At that point i started thinking it could be a black bear cub which would be bad.. I had seen lots of tracks on the trail for 15 miles or so that day. I found a large branch and set a fire. Then i sharpened the branch into a spear with a machete i was carrying. When i set the fire and sat down i heard a growl. At first it was completely unrecognizable but i assumed bear i think. So i stood up and yelled "go away bear" as i banged the spear on a tree. I also took all the wood i had gathered which was mostly long thin branches and i made a funnel so that anything that came at me had to come from the front and through my fire or at least make a bunch of noise going through the branches. The back of my shelter was against some large fallen trees. At that point I heard the growl again and realized "thats not a bear". The best i can describe it is the sound that The Predator form the movie makes. A gurgling growl kinda. At that point i new i was in trouble because if its a cat its pissed that im there and im not gonna see it coming. I stoked my fire and made a call to Florida Fish and Wildlife telling them my situation. They thought i was confused and it was a bear but when i described the sound they changed their assessment. They dispatched Ranger Rice to me after i gave them my location. For almost 2 hours that cat would growl when i stoked the fire or moved. Just as i threw my last log on the fire and was thinking "this is it, when the fire goes out its on" I noticed lights from through the trees behind me and heard a truck. I hadn't realized but a service road was only about 30yds behind me. The rangers had arrived and i started shining my flashlight into the tree canopy so they could spot me. They lit up their blue and white lights and hit the siren and i heard the cat run away. I never did see it. I came out of the woods without my pack straight toward the Ranger and his partner wielding an Uncle Henry knife and a machete. They had some questions of course since the panthers are rare and they hadn't seen one there before. I left my things there for the night and they drove me into Salt Springs where i stayed until morning. I went back to the spot and gathered my things then met up with my brother a few miles down the trail near the 88 Store with a crazy story.. I hope that was enough detail and worth the read!

I have been in close proximity to many dangerous animals on several continents, mostly by chance. I have been taught by experts that a calm demeanor and only backing away quickly when absolutely needed is the correct response. By taking several calm steps towards them I showed I am not something to be bothered with. I was not afraid and they were not either. Also, there has never been an attack by one of these beautiful animals in the state of Florida. Many people also have commented that I should have taken an escape route...there was none. My training as an outdoorsman is significant and often well documented.

It was a truly amazing experience, not just for seeing these beautiful cats but also for the amount of time they spent with us.

Florida Panther is a subspecies of Mountain Lion, basically the name mostly depends upon what part of the country you live.

Do you guys in Florida just make up new names for Mountain Lion / Puma because you can, or is this a legitimate different species/sub-species?

@Grant Walker OK, so now an animal is different based on where you see it??? You can take the Mountain Lion out of the mountains, but you can't just take the mountain out of the Mountain Lion...

@Grant Walker I get it - not fighting with you ;) I'm genuinely interested whether it is a legitimate sub-species - have never heard of a "Florida Panther" before - I'm not from the States...

Are we allowed to carry a gun or rifle for protection?
@TheOutdoorsGuy16
@TheOutdoorsGuy16 6 жыл бұрын
This was on Federal land so the answer is no, you cannot carry a weapon, however you really do not need one, these animals truly want nothing to do with us and I'm not sure there has ever been a Florida Panther attack in the state....ever...

@@TheOutdoorsGuy16 Actually that's not true. Starting in 2010, the laws changed and you ARE ALLOWED to carry firearms in all federal parks with the exception of about twenty specific parks. However, a firearm IS NOT to be considered as protection from wildlife. Carrying a concealed firearm in a national park is governed by the state statues in the state the park is located. This law changed under the Obama administration, yet so many think Obama was out to take away your 2nd Ammendment right... When actually the tRump administration has done more against your 2nd Ammendment rights in three years than Obama did in his eight years! Facts matter! ;-)

Why didn't you let them cross? All you had to do was walk away for a few minutes. They need to cross to eat all you're doing is fishing.

People cross the street everyday and there is more danger in doing that. But you should always know what you're doing when you are out in the woods. Plus there has never been a documented attack on a human from a Florida panther
