So final question: please help!
what first aid is necessary, if you get attacked by a florida panther?

appreciate your help so much, and please quote a reliable source

Answer 1

That would be pretty hard to say. The website listed below states that there has never been a recorded attack or injury of a human by a Florida panther. So you don't have any cases to back up your claim for first aid.

Answer 2

Ecolink is correct. You need not worry about getting attacked. However, first aid while doing field work is important. So, use the same first aid you would if you had been bitten by a dog. After all there are many more attacks on people by dogs than all wild animals combined.

Answer 3

The likelihood that you would ever even see a Florida panther in the wild is small..and to get attacked by one would be astronomical!

Answer 4

If you survive the attack, you would most likely need emergency medical attention as they are the same thing a as a puma, cougar, or mountain lion, just a sub-species of these and very rare.
