The jaguars of America went down around the same time as the California grizzly. When they industrialized the Colorado River basin, there was no continuous habitat anymore from the border to the interior of the Colorado plateau. Jaguars used to roam Zion and the Grand Canyon 100-130 years ago.

@@puapucuve6643jaguars are a fascinating animal. Unlike other apex predators they do not go after easy prey. Ranchers in Brazil were killing them left and right fearful that they would attack their cattle but stopped once they saw that a Jaguar would rather hunt a caiman in the water than go after a cattle. Also where there’s cattle there’s people and Jaguars try to avoid human interaction. They reintroduced the Jaguar to Argentina and Ranchers were also fearful but the Jaguar is thriving and cattle ranchers have nothing to worry about. I think same would happen in the US.

I remember the story of one Jaguar that was in southern Arizona. Full grown male they'd been tracking and keeping an eye on and was believed to be the only Jaguar in Arizona at the time until one day he disappeared. Took a couple months but Mexican wildlife control/study (whatever they call themselves) eventually found him. He'd left the mountains in southern Arizona and hopped the border so he could impregnate every female jaguar he could find in Mexico. Last I'd read he still hasn't returned to the U.S.

When I was a kid in the sixties, teenager in seventies, my family had a World Book Encyclopedia from 1942. Think it was my maternal grandmother's. The section on WWII was still in doubt. Anyway, I was fascinated by jaguars and still remember reading the entry about them. It stated that their range in the US was as far north as my state of Arkansas. I spent many days in the woods of our farm looking for one.

I've always thought of pumas being more specialized in living in alpine regions (except for the florida panther), and jaguars specialized in tropical/subtropical climates with lots of warm water, but it seems like these jaguars in question are able to live in arid mountainous environments as well. I would've thought jaguars would thrive in the swamps and woods along the gulf of mexico.

The habitat in Northern Mexico across the entire US southern border has largely the same climate. 150-200 years ago there were stable populations of Jaguars, Ocelots, Pumas and Bobcats from Arizona to as far east as northern Louisiana. The last Jaguar in Texas was shot in the 1940s. There's an excellent PBS documentary that recently came out about the small Ocelot population clinging on in Southern Texas in 2/3 separate populations on private ranches separated by suburbs and towns. They went down to Mexico and virtually identical habitat where the aforementioned 4 species still live side by side as they have for millions of years. As cool as Jaguars would be to reintroduce in rural, badlands or swampy areas of the border regions, the wildcats we do have like the Ocelot or West Texas Pumas should be saved from extinction. I think it's the ultimate human hubris and arrogance to think we need to "manage" wildlife in totally desolate uninhabited places. They still use horrible rusty steel paw traps in remote west Texas to "hunt" Pumas. And they often sit there for days or weeks in the trap suffering and die of exposure or predation. There was a great documentary that also came out this year called "Deep in the heart of Texas" that highlighted that. Very interesting stuff.

The steel traps disgust me. I come from a family of hunters and outdoorsmen and i totally have no issues with responsible hunting. My grandfather has a large trophy room full of mounts from hunts. I grew up on a lot of local venison, moose, fish etc but the whole bear trap thing i always had an issue with. That's just cruelty and a bitch move on the hunter. We have enough advantages as is. Anyways, I agree. We should do our best to preserve what is there and endangered though it does sound cool i dont think anyone should do this

The Platte river is in Nebraska, that is Northern Plains and yes we have found skeletal remains in Nevada, Utah, California and Colorado, they were NOT confined to just South Texas and Arizona where they now wander back and forth into Mexico. Jaguars fill a niche similar to cougars so having them is not a different impact than cougars. I grew up in wolf country on a ranch and we had a large elk population, people cite a situation like Yellowstone where the elk population was WAY over its natural state so it crashed to a sustainable level after wolves came back, the elk were so numerous they were destroying stream side vegetation harming fish populations.

I remember a documentary on two young tigers well over a decade ago. The guy was trying to (re?)introduce a couple of tigers to Africa. Long story short, the tigers ended up chasing an African parker ranger (or whatever) on horseback. While it was somewhat funny, as they were more playful than serious, since they had regular food sources. It was terrifying for the person being chased, and the humans in the area need to think that some of them will have bad and even fatal encounters when predators get reintroduced.

We saw a mountain lion out here on our gravel road… in southern Missouri where they’re typically not thought of being. I think it’s very possible for lots of these cats to exist. We should give them back their home as best we can :)

And we need more moose, wolves, and bear at the Northern Border. Canooks take our jobs too. I don’t see their kids being detained at the Northern border. It’s just prejudiced to exclude the brown people from the Southern Border. Have you counted how many undocumented Ukrainians, and Russians live in Florida today? Spain built missions, (example the Alamo, it belonged to the Mexicans whites invaded the Alamo first) and they owned Texas. Long before the Germans came here to settle. Lately I see a lot more Indian, Nepalese, Lebanese, Vietnamese, and Filipinos moving to Texas. They just fly in.

Jaguars once ranged as far east as Alabama and as far north as Pennsylvania. I've seen two skulls recovered from a cave in Northern Alabama. I don't recommend trying to reestablish them throughout their former range. Probably not much better than reestablishing T Rex if we could.

I think that's something of a poor comparison considering a T-rex likely couldn't sustain itself anywhere in the modern world based on need for food alone. Between feral hogs and large cervid populations, a jaguar could thrive in several ecosystems across the US.

Speaking of big cats a few years back I was heading home at night and turned a corner, all I saw was the back half of a large black cat walking into the woods. It stood around 3-4ft tall, was very muscular, and had a massive thick tail! I stopped dead in the road wondering if I had just seen a black panther in Logan, Ohio! Long story short I talked to a couple people around the area and the house 100ft from where I saw the cat, the guy who lived there swore a few years back he saw a large black cat out in his field.

Actually in Tennessee you would be surprised because people over the years have taken them as pets and then let them go into the mountains when they got too big or couldn’t handle them anymore. I lived in Gatlinburg and heard my cat freaking out and I ran outside and my cat was frozen stiff looking in one direction. I looked in the direction and there wasn’t anything there except a tree. Then as I looked up in the tree there was a full grown Black Panther and it was watching me and climbed headfirst down the tree and walked up about fifteen feet from me and just stared in my eyes. I’m not joking at all. Swear to God. I stood still and we stared at each other for a little bit and it slowly turned around and walked away. It didn’t act aggressively or anything but I can’t say what it would have done if I tried to turn my back and run away either. I went to school the next day and told everyone and no one believed me. I’m sure lots that see this won’t believe it either but think about how many rich people live up there in the mountains who would have had these kinds of animals over the years. To be honest that was my favorite animal always so coming face to face with one was actually something really special to me. Such a beautiful thing to see like that. My cat had no idea what to think though lol

Both in the peloncillo mountain range in the Coronado national forest. Neither of them was very large. I don’t think the ranchers would be ok with reintroducing these cats but honestly the entire environment on the border is being destroyed by garbage and intrusion from illegal alien smuggling anyway. I don’t think there will many ranchers left out there in the coming years.

25 years ago the Tyler zoo had 2 jaguars from west Texas. One was beige with dots, the other was black with faint black dots. I've seen a large, muscular one near lake Lewisville. 20 miles north of Dallas , TX a couple of years ago. It was over 4 ft from front shoulder to butt and must have weighed way over 100 lbs. And a couple of decades ago a smaller, black one that was either a young jaguar or one of the black panthers many people have seen for over 50 years, yet they don't officially exist. Also saw an ocelot in that area. They may all be descendants from some captive facility. Because there is a very large variety of wildcats around here.

No they do not. A panther is not even an animal. A panther is the nickname for any cat that appears to be black. Most so called black panther sightings are just cougars. Cougars appear to be black in some lighting. Also, this guy does not know what he is talking about. There are literally more big cats and medium sized cats in the United States than anywhere else in the world. I know you are probably saying how is that possible. Well there is in fact more cougars, which is the 4th largest cat in the world, in the U.S. than all big cats in Africa and Asia combined. Yes that is correct, there are more cougars than all lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, clouded leopards and snow leopards combined. The truth is North America has more big and medium sized cats than any other place in the world. We have cougars, Jaguars, Lynx/Bobcats etc. There is exactly 40 wild cat species in the world, and only 5 are considered big cats, then you have medium sized cats, and around 30 species are small cats. Cougars are actually the predator that spans more range than any other predator in the world, and lives in more habitats than any other land animal. Their range goes all the way from the northern most part of North America to the southern most part of South America, and they can live an any habitat. Nonetheless, this guy does not know what he is talking about, and there is no such thing as a panther, it is just a nickname for a cat that appears to be black.

I figured this out years ago as a teenager. Im a bit of a nature nerd, and quickly looking at north america fauna, u clearly see that a big predator is clearly missing. Cougar or mountain lion are not large "big" cats. It's my personal opinion that jaguar priory to 1500-1600AD ranged as far as the southern end of the great lakes. Perhaps into southern ontario. Jaguars actually handle snow very well. We are simply used to seeing jaguar in tropical regions. Yet the same mountain lion can be found in these areas too. Yet mountain lion can be found across the two continents, in nearly every biome. The same can be said of jaguar when they are present. Both species are extremely adaptable. However for africa as a reference, jaguars are the lions and mountain lion are the leopards. If u put them side by side, ecological nich wise they fit.

There’s a cougar/Mt lion problem in Oklahoma. I dealt with them 3 times on my little farm, my neighbor shot one on his front porch and the wildlife people denied the existed until more people got game cams and they couldn’t deny it anymore. It doesn’t make any sense to re-introduce them

They reintroduced mountain lions here in WV without letting anyone know because: “if it looks like they migrated back naturally, the state won’t be liable if someone gets eaten” according to a DNR officer

There was one spotted in Uvalde TX in the late 80s/early 90s. Wife was visiting her grandmother, and it attacked one of their house cats, then took off with it in the thicket. I’d love if they reintroduced them, and worked harder to get the black bear population up to what it used to be in Texas.

In southern AZ they jump the 15' barrier on the regular. The few still there are on camera doing it. As they get older, like El Jefe that Joe referred to in this clip, they stay on one side or the other.
