Jaguars spotted near Arizona border, first since getting hunted out of the U.S.
The jaguar’s range in the 1800s stretched from the Amazon rainforest to the southern United States.
But by the mid-20th century jaguars had been hunted out of the U.S. and were no longer seen north of the Mexican border.
However, a jaguar was sighted in Arizona as recently as January 6, 2021.
Ganesh Marin is a Biologist working on his PhD from the University of Arizona. He focuses on animal movement along the Arizona and Mexico border in the Cajon Bonita watershed.
“The Jaguars we saw in the Borderlands, Valerio, and Bonito were also males. The good news about them is they are young. You can find an astonishing amount of diversity. I’m talking Puma’s, Black Bears, Beavers, and then there’s Jaguars and this is incredible.“
The first Jaguar showed up in March 2021 in Cuenca Los Ojos, a protected area located in Sonora, Mexico. The area is a Sky Island in the Sierra Madre that allows the Jaguar to traverse the mountain range and avoid the heat of the desert.
