The Piney Woods is a terrestrial ecoregion in the Southern United States covering 54,400 square miles (141,000 km) of East Texas, southern Arkansas, western Louisiana, and southeastern Oklahoma. These temperate coniferous forests are dominated by several species of pine as well as hardwoods including hickory and oak. The World Wide Fund for Nature considers the Piney Woods to be one of the critically endangered ecoregions of the United States. SettingThe Piney Woods cover an area of 140,900 square kilometres (54,400 sq mi) of eastern Texas, northwestern Louisiana, southwestern Arkansas and the southeastern corner of Oklahoma. They are bounded on the east by the Mississippi lowland forests, on the south by the Western Gulf coastal grasslands, on the west by the East Central Texas forests and the Texas blackland prairies, on the northwest by the Central forest-grasslands transition, and on the north by the Ozark Mountain forests.

My grandfather and aunts always talked about Black Panthers living in the piney woods of east Tx. I have researched and have not found any evidence of an animal like this in that region. nayone know anything? Asked by slickjimmy792 - Fri Dec 4 07:03:24 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The question remains unanswered, whether or not any black panthers survive in Texas or Louisiana to the present day. No sightings have been reported now for many years, that is, that are verifiable. About 1952, a truck driver, traveling at night along Highway 62 between Buna and Mauriceville, Texas, believed he saw three panthers crossing the road eastward toward the Sabine River bottoms. About 1980 there was a reported panther sighting in the outskirts of Beaumont. And about 1985, a panther was reported killed near Tyler, Texas, although most probably it was a tawny cougar, that had drifted far east of its normal habitat.

Which Southern states do you prefer and not prefer? Why?
Q. I love the South...live there! Born and raised here, and plan to die here (but that's in another 70+ years.) I'm reppin' the Lone Star State of TEXAS!!!

Florida is basically Cuba north.

Im half asian---Once I met an elderly women from virginia and she was like "once I knew an asian person. he was a good boy" Generally people are not very openminded. In Georgia, I heard a white man call an African American a "negroe." Elementry school kids go to birmingham, alabama to visit the old confederate capitol building...and then march out with confederate flags. Although i know there are some open ppl, the majority of the midwest and south tends to be separated in social class and race. Not a whole lot of diversity one would find in a northern state… [cont.] Answered by hotpockets122000 - Tue Oct 10 00:50:32 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "piney woods" |
