A two- to three-month-old female panther was struck by a vehicle and killed in Everglades National Park on Monday night.

The incident occurred at 10:15 just before the park’s entrance station, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The body was collected by a Park Service ranger and transferred to the Naples FWC office late this afternoon. It will remain until a necrospy can be preformed.

The person who hit the panther noticed the mother standing by, but didn’t see any other kittens. The kitten who was killed did not have a kinked tail or cowlick.

This is the 15th panther death this year, six of which have been killed on the roadways, FWC reported.

    Pantera
    que muere
    antes de ser
    pantera.
    Pantera que
    parte
    a ninguna
    parte.
    Quizas
    al olvido
    de los que
    solo
    aman
    la naturaleza
    muerta.

    Si, pienso también que son demasiadas panteras muertas por automóviles y las autoridades deben de tomar acción al respecto, pues muchas personas sienten una gran sensación de libertad cuando manejan dentro de los parques, lo que se traduce en mas velocidad para el auto que conducen.
