Many people live in Florida. Many animals
live here, too. People sometimes cause
changes in the environment. Some changes help the animals. Other
changes are problems for them.

THE FLORIDA PANTHER
The Florida panther lives only in Florida.
This panther is endangered. There are only about 60 Florida panthers left in
the wild. Panthers need a lot of space
to hunt and raise their young.
![Page 6: Endangered: danger of loss or injury Environment: total surroundings Protected: shielded from harm or injury.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d8d5503460f94a74fb0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
But more and more people are moving into the habitat of the panthers. This
means there are fewer places for panthers to live in Florida.

Now people are trying to help the panthers. They have set aside
places where the panthers’ habitat is
protected. They built fences and crossings on busy roads. These
help to protect panthers.

Wildlife crossings help to protect panthers from being hit by
cars and trucks.

MANATEESFlorida manatees, or sea cows, live in
warm water where sea grass grows, but they breathe air. These “gentle giants,” which are related to elephants, have
wrinkled gray-brown skin. They use their lips the way elephants use their trunks.

But manatees have lost much of their habitat. They are endangered. This is because people have moved to where
the manatees live. The animals get tangled in fishing nets. Sometimes
boats hit the manatees.

Now Florida has laws to protect these animals.
Some people rescue injured manatees. Some people teach others how
to protect these animals.

People can help Florida manatee.

ALLIGATORS
Florida is home to the American alligator, a large reptile related to the crocodile. Alligators live in marshes, swamps, and other wetlands. But the way people use
water can change these wetlands.

This causes problems for alligators. To help, people in Florida are
learning to share their environment with
alligators.
