Cat Tale
Cat Tale | Craig Pittman
4 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
It wasnt so long ago when a lot of people thought the Florida panther was extinct. They were very nearly right. That the panther still exists at all is a miraclethe result of a desperate experiment that led to the most remarkable comeback in the history of the Endangered Species Act. And no one has told the whole storyuntil now. With novelistic detail and an eye for the absurd, Craig Pittman recounts the extraordinary story of the people who brought the panther back from the brink of extinction, the ones who nearly pushed the species over the edge, and the cats that were caught in the middle. This being Florida, theres more than a little weirdness, too. An engrossing narrative of wry humor, sharp writing and exhaustive reportage, Cat Tale shows what it takes to bring one species back and what unexpected costs such a decision brings.

My sister and I have always been fascinated by the plight of the Florida panther. She is a veterinarian and has a BS in Wildlife Management and I have always been interested in stories about conservation. Like many of the personalities featured in this book, we thought the Florida panther's future was doomed.

WanderingBookaneer Pittman does a phenomenal job explaining how the state mammal became endangered, the current threats to its habitat and way of life, and what is being done to bring the number of panthers in the wild up. A riveting read that I could have finished in one sitting had I not had to go to practice. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5y
