Jaguar Seen at Arizona Watering Hole, Fifth in 15 Years

A unique jaguar was photographed by a remote camera in southern Arizona, marking the fifth big cat sighting in the area over the past 15 years. Researchers from the University of Arizona Wild Cat Research and Conservation Center are excited about the ongoing presence of these animals, which indicates a healthy ecosystem. They are analyzing scat samples to learn more about the new jaguar and emphasize the importance of maintaining migratory corridors threatened by climate change and habitat loss. Jaguars, primarily found in Central and South America, have not bred in the U.S. for over a century, highlighting the need for conservation efforts.
