Oil on Canvas, 24" X 30"

This Floridian Cougar is seen standing very alert amongst cabbage palm thickets. Cougars, sometimes called panthers, will wade and swim canals and swamps if necessary to find drier, more secure resting places and to hunt for food.

Panthers prefer a secluded environment away from people. They are beautiful animals and at one time were considered endangered since it was so difficult to find any traces of them in Florida.
