Code entry
Sean Haymes (spelled with an m) came to check out the GTM visitor center in the summer of 2025. He asked me about the wildlife there, particularly the Florida panthers. I said per our lead ranger Zach, we haven't had a panther east of the Intracoastal Waterway in a decade. People are reporting sightings, but Zach doubts them. Sean said there is at least one panther in the WMA. He said it is sometimes seen by fishermen across from Nocatee Preserve. He said a female panther lives in the Nocatee Preserve but swims across the ICW with her cubs to visit the WMA. He showed me a video his friend posted on YouTube on 11/15/2022. Here is the video: https://youtu.be/83Lua2wFs4I?si=_9YiB7hWx_M9OmyL Title: Fl panther just got breakfast of a shell bed and is in the grass, heading to the tree line Description: Video from Tom Voutour Sean left me his number in case Zach wanted to ask him about it: Sean Haymes 904-502-3595
