Black Panther
Transcript: Black Panthers Diet Black Panthers eat deer, warthogs, wild goats, birds, reptiles, fish, and rabbits. They also eat grass, eggs, and occasionally fruit. Habitat Rain forest, marshland, woodlands, swamps, savannahs, mountains, and deserts. Survival Black Panthers can survive almost anywhere, but humans are the main reason of a dwindling population. Farmers sometimes kill black panthers and mercury and chemicals in the environment harm them. Unique Features and Specialties Black Panthers are long and slender with short legs and ears. Males usually weigh 120-170 pounds, females usually weigh around 80-120 pounds. Reasons for Endangerment Some farmers trap and kill panthers. Panthers can practically adjust to any environment, this is why scientists are puzzled. Chemicals in the ground also harm and kill panthers. Biome The black panther lives in the rainforest biome. Large amount of life disapears in the rainforest everyday. 7,000 miles of rainforest is lost everyday. There is an uncountable number of organisms living in the rainforest. It has 3 layers, undercarpet, carpet, and the umbrella. Rainforests lose life everyday, some we don't even know about. Problems in the Biome People chop down rainforests everyday. It is a terrible deed and needs to be stopped immediately. Everyday we lose another species to a rainforests being cut down. It is awful! Improving or Decreasing? The Panther Population is at the lowest point. Population has made great progress and is improving everyday The panther population was a hard one to find, but what I could find was a good news. The panther population is doing extremely well and isn't quite where it should be, but is doing suprisingly well. Efforts to save panthers There are several efforts to save the black panther. People everywhere are starting organizations to save this large feline. The world wildlife fund also tries to save this species from extinction. Conclusion... In conclusion, I believe the black panthers will soon be returning to a healthy number. I believe the black panthers will be out of the endangerd and even threatened category soon. Population is growing, but is still low. 2000 April Anderson Mikenzy Blair 2002 March 5th (cc) image by jantik on Flickr 1990's 2010
