Frankenberger WB, Belden RC, Roof JC. 1989. Florida panther distribution annual performance report 1988-1989. Florida
Field searches for panther (Felis concolor coryi) sign were conducted this year in a study area made up of selected sites Glades, Highlands, and Polk counties where surveys were done systematically and along the St. Johns River drainage where surveys were conducted less frequently. No panther sign was found in the areas in Glades, Highlands, and Polk counties, and only scattered sign was found along the St. Johns. The Florida Panther Record Clearinghouse received 290 panther reports, of which 25 were investigated. None of these were confirmed to be panthers. Two reports from Osceola County, incidental to the Clearinghouse reports, were verified as panthers.
