Wildlife officials are investigating why panthers and bobcats in three Florida counties are walking abnormally and having extreme difficulty controlling their back legs.
Trail camera footage has captured eight panthers and one adult bobcat displaying varying degrees of trouble walking or difficulty coordinating their back legs.The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Monday Another panther photographed in neighboring Charlotte County could also be suffering from the condition, according to the FWC. The affected panthers in the video are mostly kittens, while the bobcat is an adult.
“While the number of animals exhibiting these symptoms is relatively few, we are increasing monitoring efforts to determine the full scope of the issue," said Gil McRae, director of the FWC’s Fish and Wildlife Research Institute.

Probably because someone is poisoning them.
We selfish self-centred humans have been harming other life forms for centuries. In the future I hope we meet an alien life form that can teach us a lesson instead of an Avatar like scenario.

When my cat drank antifreeze that had leaked in the neighbors yard, he was acting the same way. I'd look into poisoning.
Pesticides or other human-made poisons is my guess.
Someone shot them while standing their ground for trying to eat their cat.
Blue green algae?

Probably something humans caused. We have fucked up the Earth so bad.
Horrible
Probably because the Florida gop lets businesses get away with polluting their habitats. That’s just a guess, though.
How sad
Who gives a shit about those rodents.
Bath salts.
This is how the zombie apocalypse starts.
Blue green algae?
It’s easy! Their environment has been tainted and poisoned by fertilizers, weed killers, and insect killers.
Someone is probably poisoning them. Too much of a coincidence if it's happening to two different species.
Cause it’s Florida?
