    This means that Florida panther population is endangered (closely to become extinct).

    Florida panther is a population of cougar which lives in South Florida in the United States. The Florida panther has the low genetic diversity because of the factors (environmental and genetic) like habitat destruction. As a result, the distinct and isolated subspecies was formed followed by a decrease in the population size and increase of inbreeding depression. Inbreeding depression led to the increased expression of deleterious traits in the populations, lowering the fitness of the population.
