Two male kittens were born to FP124 in February. They are the 224th and 225th kittens handled at dens since April of 1992.In 2003, the National Park Service established a Florida panther capture team at Big Cypress National Preserve. This year they concentrated their efforts into the month of February, and in 22 days 12 panthers were treed. Four of these panthers, 3 females and 1 male had never been collared. Of the four, two had been handled before, as indicated by the microchip placed under their skin when they were kittens.

FP(Florida Panther)150, born July 2003, started out as kitten #152. FP151 was marked as kitten #113 in her den in April of 2002. Information such as this helps determine how successfully panthers survive to adulthood.
