Default Florida Panther Sighting

Hi all, has anyone else spotted a Panther in and around the Pelican and Heron executive golf courses over the past few days? We see one there last Thursday afternoon between holes 5 and 6 of Pelican just walking down the concrete golf cart path. At first I thought Bobcat but then noticed the unmistakable long tail. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a picture in time. But this Saturday while playing Heron we took these pictures of tracks in one of the sand traps. Cool!

Must be the panther, the bobcat usually rakes out his foot steps.

they're out there...hiding in plain sight

we're surrounded by boonies in every direction

surprised no one has reported seeing footprints of Florida's version of Big Foot...the Skunk Ape

I resent the term "Skunk Ape"! I shower regularly.

We have a cougar in our neighborhood but she only comes out at night.
