Panther Ph.Ds: A Scholarly Guide to Studying Florida Panthers in Red Dead Redemption 2
Howdy, partners! Ever felt the itch to become a virtual Jane Goodall, but with less note-taking and more existential dread from giant cats? Then you, my friend, have a hankering to study the elusive Florida Panther in Red Dead Redemption 2. Fear not, aspiring critter connoisseurs, this guide will have you whispering sweet nothings (or possibly panicked pleas) to these magnificent beasts in no time.
Where to Find Your Feline Friend: The Panther Posse's Preferred Pad
The Florida Panther, unlike its more common cousin, only chills in one specific location: the southern swamps near Blackwater and Catfish Jackson's. Keep an eye out for these ebony beauties near the cayes (those tiny islands) and along the murky shorelines. Tip: Nighttime is when these nocturnal nightmares come out to play (or, more accurately, prowl menacingly).
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
Approaching the Apex Predator: How to Avoid Becoming Panther Paste
Let's be honest, these sleek shadows of death pack a punch stronger than Dutch's delusions of grandeur. So, how do we get close enough to study them without becoming a cautionary tale for future naturalists?
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
- Dress for Success (Emphasis on Not Being Dinner): Bright Clothing? Big nope. Opt for something that blends in with the swampy surroundings. Think dark greens and browns.
- Silent Stalker, Not Bumbling Bandit: These cats have hearing sharper than Micah's vulture sense. Use cover! Move slow. And for the love of all that is holy, avoid running like a headless chicken.
- Befriend the Bullet (or Arrow): Let's face it, sometimes these panthers just won't cooperate for a friendly chat. Pack a powerful weapon, like a shotgun or improved arrows, in case things get hairy (pun very much intended).
The Scholarly Showdown: Studying Your Subject

Alright, partner, you've (hopefully) survived the first part. Now, the real challenge: getting that sweet, sweet study complete.
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
- The Bait and Switch (But Hopefully Without Getting Switched On): Predator bait is your best friend here. Plop some down, wait patiently (emphasis on patiently) in hiding, and with any luck, the panther will come to investigate.
- Eagle Eye, Not Eagle Food: Once the panther's in range, activate Eagle Eye. This will slow down time and allow you to get a good look at the magnificent beast...hopefully without getting mauled.
- The Binocular Bonanza: If you're feeling extra cautious (and wise!), use your binoculars to study the panther from a safe distance.
