What We Eat: How Do Panthers Get Their Food?

Some raptors are acrobats and blur through dangerous tree lines and brush to catch prey with its agility and speed. Others take a less energy consuming route by soaring high above plains and grasslands and only take advance towards prey with large talons and its eyesight that is to be marveled at. A few take an even more conservative approach by feeding on the already deceased and rotting flesh of almost any carrion. There is also a species of raptor that uses its ability to see at night as if everything is illuminated and sits or stalks its prey through the night. Raptors have evolved different methods of survival but all species are related in many ways as well.

They usually feed on lemurs, but they can still eat other animals. Some people that live on the island of Madagascar tell legends of the fossa attacking humans. These legends are most likely false because there are no records of a fossa attacking a human without cause. Hunting for the fossa is usually easy because of its nimble nature.

People do not realize this but there are several panthers killed from car accidents. While panthers are large animals, they are hard to see. This is part of the reason why so many of them are killed by cars. Studies show that in 2012 seventeen panthers died due to “vehicular trauma” (Allen, pg. 11). Then in 2013 another 18 panthers were killed by cars (Allen, pg. 11). There are several

The Florida Panther is currently an endangered species of cougar that resides in the southern forests and swamps of Florida. While it is a species of the cougar, it is identified as a panther to be able to clearly distinguish between the other southernmost species of cougar in the United

Panthers (specifically black panthers) are mostly found in rainforest environments. This is their natural habitat, but panthers have a wide variety of environments they can live in. Panthers can be found in South/Southeast Asia in dense rainforests. Every animal has effects on its ecosystem, so what does the panther cause?

     The Black Panther had a huge background of history, goals, and beliefs. Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, Ca 1966, founded the Panthers. They were originally as an African American self defense force and were highly influenced by Malcolm X’s ideas. They were named after Lowndes County Freedom Organization or LCFO. The Panthers had many goals like; giving back to the ghetto, protecting blacks from police brutality, and to help blacks get freedom and jobs. They also had many beliefs like;

In order for cheetahs to eat, they approach their prey in a certain way to be successful; otherwise, they will not eat. Russell also notes that, the cheetah hunts with speed and knocks down its prey before killing it (Russell). When cheetahs hunt, they first identify their meal. Whenever there are hiding places available like tall grass, the cheetah use the cover to sneak up on its prey (JessZoo). They lower themselves so their victim does not see them. They creep very slowly and soon gain speed. If the prey looks up, the

Front-runner In Carolina’s two games this postseason, the Panthers have jumped out to huge leads. Leading 31-0 against the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round and 24-7 against the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game at halftime of both games, the Panthers have become accustomed to front-running. Carolina has been a front-running team all year, scoring early and often en route to a league-high 15 wins. If the Panthers can get out to a big early lead against the Broncos, Denver’s offense doesn’t seem equipped to make a big comeback. Carolina quarterback Cam Newton, who was named NFL MVP Saturday night, was the runaway front-runner to win the award after a stellar regular season.

Never has a black panther been documented in North America. Adult males can reach a length of seven feet from their nose to the tip of their nose. On average, adult males are around 116 lbs and females weigh around 75 lbs. Kittens are usually grak with dark brown or blackish spots and five bands around their tail. As they get older, the spots will fade and almost completely go away at six months old. Their bright blue eyes slowly turn to the light brown straw color around the same time. A plan for genetic restoration and management of the Florida Panther was developed in september 1994. Where non-pregnant adult female texas pumas were released in areas of South Florida from March to July 1995. The introgression has decreased the rates of genetic defects of Florida Panthers. For Reproduction, most activity occurs from December to March with most births occurring between May and June. Primarily panthers hunt white-tailed deer and feral hogs for prey. Feral hogs are consumed more in the north, while white-tailed deer are consumed more in the

The Florida panther is becoming close to extinction. The Florida panther is a subspecies of the cougar that lives in forests and swamps in southwest Florida. They primarily eat white-tailed deer, rabbits, birds and other small animals. Panthers are mostly active between dawn and dusk. Kittens rarely survive that’s why the panther is endangered and becoming close to extinction. The alert level for this issue is a high alert level for these animals because as the years go on the panther population is getting lower.

Were the Panthers on the Prowl? When the Black Panther Party is mentioned in news or media outlets today, a large portion of the society automatically assumes the worst. According to Bobby Seale, Co-founder of the Black Panther Party, “Lies and misinterpretation perpetuated a violent image of the Black Panther Party that tells only half of the story” (The Oklahoman, 1). Because of the lack of information that is taught to the youth and the uneducated, it is easy to keep the violent portrayal alive. Many of the Black Panther critics use the carrying of guns, 1960’s shootouts, and the appraisal of Malcolm X to diminish the Black Panthers. However, what is usually left out of the media is the fact that the party consisted of Black Revolutionary

Ken-Jah Bosley Professor Finerty Conservation Biology August 17, 2015 Florida Panther I did my report on the Florida Panther. Playing basketball as a Kentucky Wesleyan Panther, made me want to do research about one of the many species of panthers. These species are going through endangerment and will probably be extinct in the near future.

Who really knows about the Black Panther Party? Contrary to what many would believe, The Black Panther Party is not a group of animals. Instead it is a group of people who are tired of all the racism and inequality and decided to do something about it. That wasn't all they did, they are also know for all of the breakfast stands they set up for poor children who didn't get fed well. Unlike other groups fighting for equality, they believed in nonviolent movements.

An African pygmy hedgehog primarily relies on high quality protein based cat kibble, they should not under any circumstances have a cheese-based diet, as they are lactose intolerance, and this means they are unable to digest lactose, which can cause serious health problems. Their food should be low in fat and low in iron and they do require a small amount of fiber (fruit, vegetables). The fruit an African Pygmy hedgehog should have are banana, strawberries, pumpkin, pear, peach- there are many more however most owners or breeders only allow certain ones. The vegetables an African pygmy hedgehog can have are carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumber, sweet corn, broccoli, sprouts, and spinach. Peas can also allowed although they are very small and

Getting Energy Cats are carnivores, meaning they eat meat, and they use sharp, retractable claws to get their food. They can hunt at anytime of the day. First, when they locate their prey, they creep up onto it, putting as little possible. Then, they pounce onto them, swatting with their paws to get
