Summary:
The population status of the Florida black bear, white-tailed deer, and two endangered wildlife species, the American alligator and Florida panther, were studied in the Everglades region of Florida. Questionnaires were distributed to field personnel of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission and the Florida Department of Natural Resources to obtain information on population levels of bear and panther. Individuals who reported panthers were interviewed. Records of panther and bear at Everglades National Park were examined. Nocturnal and diurnal alligator counts along canals were made. Aerial deer counts, pre and post-hunting season sex ratio changes, and deer harvest information were used to estimate deer populations.
