Saving El Tigre: A Mexican hideaway might allow the endangered jaguar to maintain a foothold along the U.S. border.
Tagged: Argentina, border
The biggest felines in the Americas and the third-largest in the world, jaguars once roamed the Western Hemisphere from Argentina to the Southwestern United States and Louisiana. Similar to leopards, with yellow and brown fur dotted with dark rosettes, they can reach 8 feet in length from nose to tail and weigh up to 300 pounds.
The only American cat that roars, jaguars were worshipped as deities by pre-Columbian civilizations. The modern world has been far less respectful to the creature known south of the border as El Tigre.”*
