Heartbreaking news as a total of 12 Florida panthers have been struck and killed by vehicles in 2023. Two of the big cats were found dead in Florida last week, with a total of four killed just this month. Sadly, a total of 66 panthers have been killed since 2021, 109 in 2017-2020, and 118 in 2014-2016. The leading cause of death for Florida panthers are car collisions, per Florida Fish and Wildlife. One of the endangered panthers found last week was a 4-year-old male that was discovered on Sunday in northern Collier County on Immokalee Road. The second was a 3-year-old male that was found in northern Hendry County on County Road 833. On November 6th, a male panther was struck by a car and found dead in Hendry County, and the next day, a female panther was also struck by a car and found in Glades County. Florida panthers are the larger of Florida’s two native cat species (panthers and bobcats). They once roamed the entire Southeast of the United States, but due to human encroachment, vehicle collisions, poisoning, and hunting, they are now only found in a region of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico, as well as in Georgia. The core population of the species is found south of Lake Okeechobee. The Florida panther is a subspecies of the western puma which is found in only half of their original range, primarily in mountain and desert regions in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Thankfully, Florida panthers were added to the U.S. endangered species list in 1973 and it is illegal to harm or harass them in any way. There are only approximately 120-230 panthers remaining in the wild in Florida, per Florida Fish and Wildlife.

Welcome to Mother City Pucker! I’m Glen Eric Huysamer, also known as The Mother City Pucker, a passionate Master's "beer" league ice hockey player from the stunning city of Cape Town—the Mother City of Africa. My love for skating started back in 1971, and this channel is all about sharing that passion while celebrating the unique ice hockey community here in Cape Town. Through Mother City Pucker, I aim to highlight the incredible talent in our local ice hockey scene, share entertaining skating content, and challenge the notion that ice sports can’t thrive in Africa. This is Cape Town’s own version of Hockey Illustrated—a one-man production featuring filming, editing, storytelling, and a deep dive into the history of the game, all brought to you by Glen IV Productions. If you enjoy the content and want to support the growth of ice hockey in our region, I encourage you to connect directly with the Western Province Ice Hockey Association through the link below. Your support can help them expand the sport, nurture new talent, and ensure its future growth in the greater Cape Town area. And, of course, if you like what you see here, feel free to contribute to the growth of this channel to help keep the fun rolling. In addition to showcasing ice hockey, I’ll share skating videos—on and off the ice—along with glimpses of our city’s beauty and its vibrant surroundings, as connected to my personal insights and endeavors as time allows.
