Diet

Panthers are carnivores and their diet depends on the land region. Various species of mammals, reptiles, and birds, all from different habitats are all included in the panther’s diet. The main prey of the panther consist of deer and elk, as well as other large bovids, cloven-hoofed mammals belonging to the family Bovidae, and cervids, ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae, but panthers are known to also eat beavers, squirrels and other small mammals, including porcupines, as well as fish and snails. Domestic livestock, such as sheep and cows, as well as pets, cats and dogs, have also occasionally fallen prey to panthers. ||< media type="youtube" key="PCET2-BPOZs" height="234" width="288" || ﻿Written by Drew Down.
