Excerpt:

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is tracking the male and female panthers, who were outfitted with radio collars. The panthers have not traveled far from their pen, and are still on White Oak property, according to FWC spokeswoman Karen Parker. Parker told ABC News affiliate WJXX that officials are continuously monitoring their location and working to return them safely to their enclosure. The 2-year-old panthers were trapped by the staff at the conservation in Florida center when they were 5 months old after their mother died. The staff had hoped to release the panthers back into the wild later this winter, according to Kipp Frohlich, head of the Imperiled Species Management Section at the FWC. Their pens at the center are very secluded to ensure they have little contact with people.
