__//**Panther**//__

The panther is the closest animal to being an invasive species in Egypt. They are rarely seen and are considered by some to just a myth since they are usually found in the jungles of central Africa. Some biologists believe that panthers have moved up to the deserts of Egypt because of deforestation in their natural habitat. Panthers have very little impact on the environment of Egypt as they are few and far in between. When some one sees a panther, they are ordered by the government to call police and have the big cat captured and sent back to the central African jungles. They are almost never caught but when they are it said to get very violent even when the panther is tranquelized because they are known to have excessive spasms in their sleep.
