The “panther” of the title is a puma who is relentlessly pursued by a human hunter. Whilst “Florida panther” is one of the many names for the puma, “panther” on its own refers to a melanistic leopard (also used for melanistic jaguars, these days). Factual errors are abundant in the book – the way pumas kill their prey is portrayed incorrectly, and wolves killing and eating members of their own pack is especially ridiculous. In addition, the edition I read was illustrated with pictures that resembled caracals far more than pumas.
