Chat with James McMullen
Jim devoted years to writing his New York Times best-selling book, Cry of the Panther: Quest of a Species. (He is presently writing Cry of the Panther, Part II, Quest for Survival). During a six-year stint with the Marines, while serving in Viet Nam, Jim was wounded in action three times and was awarded the Purple Heart. In 1980, Jim and his wife settled in Naples, Florida to devote full time efforts to tracking the endangered panther/cougar and to help save it from extinction in the Florida Everglades. For intensive close up research, Jim raised a female panther/cougar from cub to adulthood through a breeding program, naming her Tracker. She quickly became his wilderness soul-mate and "panther teacher". Tracker helped Jim and 600,000 students, through a statewide straw ballot election, get the Florida panther voted in as the state animal on March 9, 1982. Jim and Tracker traveled to Tallahassee and walked down the isle of the House of Representative three minutes before the vote. Her presence easily swayed the vote in favor of the panther 93 to 3. Over the years, Jim has presented his wildlife lecture to audiences across Florida, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Ohio, and California. He has appeared on local, regional, national and international television and radio. His panther project has reached London, England, New Zealand and Canada. He has appeared in more than one hundred newspaper and magazine feature stories nationwide.
