The Nicaraguan National Zoo is busy caring for the latest additions to the park: two three-week-old female jaguar cubs "Limi" and "Bulni". The cubs were rescued from a jungle on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast after their mother was killed when she entered a house and tried to catch a pig. They join a host of other animals at the zoo just south of Managua which is actively working to fight illegal animal trafficking and save endangered species, including the jaguar. Duration: 00:48
I just hope that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plan to protect jaguar habitat in Arizona and New Mexico is working. Occasional sightings have been made, but the breeding population is across the border in Sonora, Mexico. Hopefully, it can cross the border, just like the grey wolf did for Washington and Oregon. It would be nice to have these carnivores permanently back in the United States again.
