PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) - Wildlife officials have tracked a prowling panther's 800-mile trek through central Florida.
Treasure Coast Newspapers (http://bit.ly/1PUCwIl ) reports that the 3-year-old male Florida Panther was hit by a car and injured in 2014. University of Florida veterinarians worked to repair his broken leg and rehabilitate him for life in the wild before releasing him in January.
The panther now wears a tracking device and researchers say they are learning important information about the habits and habitat of his endangered species.
