Although Florida black bears aren’t typically aggressive, they’re large (they’re Florida’s largest land mammal), strong, and can react when provoked. Bears should be given their space.

Florida is home to only one kind of bear, the Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus).

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has been on the lookout for an escaped grizzly bear in Naples. The 125-pounder named Booboo apparently escaped from a private ranch near Naples in the Golden Gate Estates area on Tuesday.

A Florida panther attack on a human has never been documented, but Sunday’s animal attack is not necessarily uncommon, said Darrell Land, Florida panther team leader for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. “They are regularly occurring events,” he said.

Watch Out: The Most Dangerous Animals in Florida

• Spiders. There are two spiders in particular, found in Florida, that can potentially be dangerous.
• Florida Black Bears.
• Sharks.
• American Alligators.
• Snakes.
• Wild Boars.
• Florida Panthers.
• Fire ants.

They rarely fight over territory. The Florida Panther is an umbrella species, which means they are the heart of the ecological community within their habitat. Protecting panthers in Florida indirectly conserves other threatened and endangered wildlife in the state.

A Jaguar cannot crush a Human skull per se, but it can definitely puncture said Skull. There is a huge world of difference between the 2 verbs. Crush implies the Jaguar totally destroys the skull and turns the bones totally into powder.

The jaguar is the most powerful bite of felids, capable of biting using 2,000 lbf (910 kgf). This is double the power of a lion and also the 2nd most powerful of mammals following the spotted hyena; yet this potency adaptation permits the jaguar to pierce creature shells.
