14 DAY TRIAL // The adorable baby panther pictured above owes its life to a group of biologists who saved it from freezing to death in a wildlife refuge in southwest Florida.
Media reports say that the biologists stumbled upon the helpless feline back in January, while they were exploring the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge in Collier County.
At that time, the baby panther was hypothermic, and was not responding well to stimuli. Hence, it was very much doubtful that it would survive.
The biologists rushed the newborn feline to an animal hospital in Naples, and vets there did the best they could to warm its body.
The kitten eventually recovered, and, as soon as it got back on its paws, it was taken to the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa.
The baby panther now spends its days playing with stuffed animals and drinking milk from a baby bottle, Daily Mail tells us.
It currently weighs about 2 pounds (some 0.9 kilograms), which is twice as much as it did when the biologists found it, the same source details.
As soon as its gets strong and confident enough to be able to survive on its own, it will be released in the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.
