One of the Tallahassee Museum’s beloved panthers has died. Buddha arrived at the museum as a 20-month-old cub 14 years ago after an injury to his right leg and elbow. That injury made him unable to survive in the wild. The cat further developed osteoarthritis leading to additional breaks, including one to his elbow earlier this year.
