PREPARER'S COMMENTS 



Current status, life history, and ecology of the 

 Florida panther are poorly known. Most biologi- 

 cal data are limited to general accounts or brief 

 notes from early Florida explorers and naturalists. 

 The majority of publications since the turn of the 

 century rehash the limited original data and in- 

 formation extracted from general studies done on 

 other subspecies. More research to determine sta- 

 tus, distribution, and ecological requirements is 

 needed for making sound conservation and man- 

 agement decisions.
