An endangered Florida panther was struck and killed by a vehicle, officials said. It marked the eight panther to be killed by a car in the state this year — and the 62nd fatality since 2021, according to statistics kept by state wildlife officials.
The 2-year-old male panther's remains were found Monday along Interstate 75 in Collier County, near the western end of Alligator Alley, officials said.
All eight known panther deaths this year were caused by vehicle collisions, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
