FWC continues to monitor the distribution and prevalence of feline leukomyelopathy (FLM) in Florida’s wild felines through reports from citizens and targeted research projects. Over 100 trail cameras have been deployed within core panther habitat in effort to document cases of FLM in bobcats and Florida panthers. To date, we have 11 confirmed (8 bobcats and 3 panthers) and 37 probable (assessed mainly by trail camera footage; 18 bobcat and 19 panthers) cases of FLM across Florida.
We encourage the public to continue to submit footage and pictures of wildlife that appear to have problems with their rear legs at MyFWC.com/PantherSightings and to report dead or injured panthers to the our Wildlife Alert Hotline: 1-800-404-3922.
