The remains of a 2-year-old male Florida panther (UCFP403) were collected on May 27, 2021 on SR29, three quarters of one mile north of US41 in Collier County (464065, 2866856). The suspected cause of death was vehicle collision.

Biologists gain valuable information by examining panther remains. Report injured or dead panthers to the FWC Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922).
