Florida+Panther-+Jade+P

The Florida panthers live in forests or swamps in southern Florida. It's a carnivore, it will eats mice, hares, storks, white-tailed deer, and wild boars. Alligators and humans are a threat to them that's why the are endangered. Human poaching for their fur is making them endangered. A female can be 18 months old to get pregnant. They between December and march, and they are pregnant from 92 to 96 days. They give live birth. An interesting fact is they don't roar like most wild cats, they hiss, moan, or growl. The most threats to the florida panther is habitat degradation, habitat fragmentation, and car collisions. this all has to do with humans.humans are killing them for poaching or they are being killed by farmers because farmers think that they are a threat to their farms. their IUCN status is critically endangered. IUCN stands for International Union for the Conservation of Nature, and the conservation status of species. the panthers are being protected by the Florida Endangered and Threatened Species Act, also the Florida Administrative code. the Defenders of Wildlife are aiding them in conservation lands to restore panthers to historical ranges of the southeast United States. I would raise money to help the panthers. there homes are getting torn down and they are being ether killed or scared away from their homes. i would take a bunch of my friends who would volunteer to help them. on the weekends we could do different things to raise money. we could do fundraisers at sonic and we get paid on tips, or we could do a car wash, or lemonade stands. by doing different things we could raise a lot of money and it would make it fun to raise money.this money would goes toward making new homes for them where nobody is allowed to hurt them or take that land away.
