Tallahassee, FL : Florida panther kitten killed by car on Sunday, December, 10th 2017

An endangered Florida panther kitten has been struck and killed by a vehicle.

It's the 24th fatal collision this year, out of 29 total panther deaths.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Monday that the remains of the male, 3-month-old panther were collected Saturday near a Naples subdivision.

Florida panthers once roamed the entire Southeastern United States, but now their habitat mostly is confined to a small region of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico. Up to 230 Florida panthers remain in the wild.
