The Florida Panther is a large cat that is native to the southern parts of Florida. Recently, the panther's main food source, rabbits, have been infected with a deadly disease that only affects rabbits. How would this most likely affect the population of panthers in the coming years?

• The panther population will decrease since they won't have access to as much food

• The panther population will not be affected because they will adapt to eating other food

• The panther population will increase because they will produce more offspring to make up the difference

• The panther population will decrease because they will contract the disease.
