The Florida panther has a cowlick in the middle of its back and a crook at the end of its long tail. Like housecats, the Florida panther keeps clean by licking its fur with its tongue. These graceful cats make a lot of different noises, including chirps, peeps, growls, and hisses. Panther kittens make a sound like a whistle to tell their mother where they are. There are fewer than 50 Florida panthers alive, making this cat one of the rarest animals in the world.
