FORT MYERS, Fla. — Another endangered Florida panther has been struck and killed by a vehicle. It’s the 23rd fatal collision this year, of 28 total panther deaths. Florida panthers once roamed the entire Southeastern United States but now their habitat mostly is confined to southwest Florida. The agency said 42 panthers were killed in 2016, with 34 being hit by vehicles in southwest Florida. It matched the 2015 record for panther deaths.
