I'm starting to worry a little about you BruceT.

Westerns are great but maybe you could stream some wildlife documentaries and call it continuing edumacation for a park ranger.

black panther?????

They were an anti-government militant group popular in the late 60's and comprised mostly of African Americans. I didn't even need to Google that.

What's missing from the story is how the researchers happened upon a "panther" up in a tree. Most likely hounds were used to tree it, but you wouldn't want to mention that they are chasing rare and endangered species with hounds.

"According to the Everglades Foundation, the Florida panther is one of the rarest and most endangered mammals in the U.S. It has a population of only about 200."

I'm fine with them protecting the Florida sub-population, but Mountain Lions are not an endangered species in the U.S. or North America. This is as rediculous as treating the handful of Canada Lynx in Minnesota or Maine as endangered species.

Thought florida panthers are suppose to be black?
