Description:

This collectible phone card prominently showcases the Florida Cougar, an endangered species, through compelling imagery and text. On the left side, a vivid, detailed photograph captures the cougar resting amid lush green vegetation. The animal’s expressive face, with its mouth slightly open revealing sharp teeth and intense, focused eyes, powerfully conveys its wild and untamed spirit. Its fur, a blend of muted brown and tan hues, harmonizes with the natural surroundings, symbolizing the cougar’s elusive presence in the wild.

Belonging to the "Endangered Species Series," this designation is clearly marked along the left border in vertical text. The words "FLORIDA COUGAR" appear boldly in a vertical yellow font beside the photograph, reinforcing the card’s theme and educational intent. This design choice draws attention to the cougar as a species in urgent need of conservation, appealing to collectors and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Overall, the card combines awareness and admiration for endangered wildlife, with a particular focus on species native to the United States.

The right half of the card features a deep red background that contrasts strikingly with the natural tones on the left. An American flag is prominently displayed near the center, symbolizing national pride and underscoring the cougar’s status as a native species facing environmental threats in the U.S. Below the flag, the issuance date "05/06/96" is printed in yellow alongside the word "ISSUED," lending a formal, collectible quality to the card. The yellow typography continues with the "$7" denomination and the word "TELECARD," arranged vertically along the far right edge.

In the bottom right corner, the card bears the ACME logo, underlined by parallel lines that suggest speed and connectivity—apt for a telecard. The "TM" symbol next to the logo and the number "1" indicate branding and indexing within the series. The card’s overall design skillfully balances striking visuals with informative text, serving both as a functional telecommunications tool and a collectible tribute to wildlife preservation. Through its thoughtful use of color and imagery, the card evokes a sense of urgency and reverence for this majestic, endangered Florida Cougar.
