Rehabilitated wild florida Panther FP260 being released back to his habitat by Naples Zoo/FWC staff in 12/2020. He spent 2 weeks at the Naples Zoo recovering from minor injuries after being hit by a car. Humans saved his life.
Once again, FL260 is back on the news as FWC/FS "put a pause" on their removal order.
 
Options are:
 
1) keep him free and wild; 2) place him in permanent captivity; or 3) euthanasia. Experts have expressed concern that "removal of an endangered species from the wild is not lawful absent a valid concern for human safety.”
