Every year on the third Friday of May, we observe Endangered Species Day. At Florida’s state parks, we protect wildlife habitat by managing these critical lands and waters every day. We take special care of the habitats of endangered species. Visitors sometimes ask where they are most likely to see the elusive Florida panther. Florida panthers are reclusive and normally live in remote, undeveloped areas. That means they are rarely seen by people. Panthers and bobcats The Florida panther ( Puma concolor coryi) is one of two native cat species in Florida, the other being the bobcat ( Lynx rufus). Adult panthers are brown, about 5 to 7 feet long and can weigh between 60 and 160 pounds. From a distance, visitors cannot mistake the panther for another animal if they can see its tail. A panther’s tail is as long as its body. Bobcats are much smaller than the Florida panther and their tails are about one-third their body length.
