A new federal plans calls for reintroducing panthers in Georgia. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report published Thursday says the goal is to establish new panther populations outside of South Florida, where the panther population has rebounded. Other states cited for possible relocation are Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Even though panthers are thriving in the highest number in decades – 120 -- officials say the population is still too small and too geographically concentrated to ensure the panther's survival.
