Another Endangered Florida Panther Struck And Killed By Vehicle

MOORE HAVEN (CBSMiami/AP) — Another endangered Florida panther has died after being struck by a vehicle.

It's the 10th panther death attributed to fatal collisions, out of 10 total deaths this year, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The remains of the 4-year-old female panther were found Monday along a rural road in western Glades County, wildlife officials said.

Florida panthers once roamed the entire Southeast, but now their habitat mostly is confined to a small region of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico. Up to 230 Florida panthers remain in the wild.
