Final answer:

The Florida Panther's shift in prey selection is due to habitat loss pushing them to target livestock, a behavior driven by environmental changes and addressed through collaborations for biodiversity conservation.


Explanation:

The Florida Panther's change in prey selection can be attributed to the loss of their natural habitat due to agriculture and housing expansion. When their usual prey like wild hogs and deer become scarce due to habitat destruction, panthers may turn to easier-to-access livestock like cattle for food.

This shift in diet is a result of habitat loss forcing the panthers to seek alternative food sources, which is a common behavior seen in predators facing environmental changes.

Collaborations between farmers and conservationists have shown that efforts to reduce livestock predation can help panther populations rebound and benefit biodiversity conservation.
