This shot of a beautiful Florida Panther was captured through a tick glass at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Florida, meanwhile resting in a shaded area of his large habitat. He is part of the Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary program receiving shelter and love for life since he cannot be release to the wild. I am a proud volunteer bringing awareness of their noble work through my photography. - www.flamingogardens.org
