The Florida panther, Puma concolorcoryi, is one of the most threatened species on Earth, with only 80-100 individuals remaining. Their population is most threatened by humans, habitat loss, and their own poor health due to genetic diseases. Some conservationists want to introduce new individuals from Texas, the mountain lion, Pumaconcolor. Scientists are currently uncertain whether the Florida panther and the Texas mountain lion are the same or different subspecies.
