ナショナルジオグラフィックさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ナショナルジオグラフィックInstagram)「Photos by @carltonward | This is Sassy, an almost four-year-old Florida panther that lives at the Palm Beach Zoo. Her mother was killed by a car near Naples in 2014, and Sassy was the only one of three kittens to survive. In addition to rehabilitating injured and abandoned panthers and giving homes to panthers that can’t be released to the wild, Florida zoos serve an important role in educating the public about panthers and their habitat-conservation needs. I’ve been chasing panthers with camera traps for three years for @natgeo, and in a lifetime I've seen only two panthers in the wild with my own eyes. So I was mesmerized by the opportunity to observe Sassy for an extended time, witnessing her grace, power, and stealth. Here are a few photos, all shot through the steel mesh of her large enclosure. I hope to photograph more Florida panthers living in Florida zoos as a way to share their unique stories of rescue, rehabilitation, and perseverance. @palmbeachzoo @myfwc #pathofthepanther #FloridaWild #KeepFLWild」5月2日 8時18分
