Florida panther kitten rescued [View all]
A Florida panther kitten discovered near death on a wildlife refuge near Alligator Alley has been rescued and now has a good chance of survival.
The kitten, found in mid-January when he weighed just one pound, was given emergency medical care and taken to the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa for longer-term rehabilitation, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced Thursday.
Today he weighs more than four pounds, appears healthy and displays a good appetite for the milk-replacement that he drinks from a bottle, according to the zoo.
The agency held off on announcing the rescue until it appeared likely he would survive, spokeswoman Carli Segelson said.
