the Florida panthers existence. However, there are some very serious problems that have come about as a result of inbreeding. The Florida panther is now plagued by infertility, heart abnormalities, and infectious diseases. La Pierre states, “Florida panthers, which historically numbered in the thousands and roamed the Southeastern states, have been reduced to one population of 30 to 50 adults” (44). With numbers like these it is clear that action needs to be taken. Luckily, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has taken great measures in an attempt to restore the Florida panthers’ gene pool by adding genetic restoration to the Florida Panther Recovery Plan. Through this recovery program they were able to take genetic material from the Texas cougar and add it to the Florida panthers’ gene pool. La Pierre reports that several of the Florida panthers that had genetic material added have had kittens (44). In spite of this recovery program, however, the Florida panther still faces many difficulties. From Yvette La Pierre’s article, the discussion of pollutants, habitat loss, and inbreeding reveals the despairing situation of the Florida panther. These beautiful big cats are now battling threats to their existence from all sides. Modern day threats such as the polluting of waterways pose serious problems for the Florida panthers’ existence. However, there are many alternative methods for getting rid of waste. In addition to this, we should also every measure possible to ensure that…

The Rockies are not just home to mighty animals but a wide variety of people as well: The Roadhunter, The Nature Hunter, and The Hardcore Hunter. The most…

Both articles have really good information about and why should we protect wolves. Well, of course, it doesn’t come right out and say it. I think the second passage, “Wolf Family Values” is the article I am picking that has more information about the wolves. Why? You may ask is because, the first article, “Scared to Death” has about the elk and what happens when the wolf population came back. The second text is more about the wolves, and they are all about. “Once upon a time, folklore shaped our…
