Jaguar Pictures.

Recommended Posts

As of late, I've been seeing more and more interest in regards to our Arizona Jaguar. I was fortunate to have the Jaguar come by my personal trail camera on May 29 and May 31, 2013 and my camera took over 20 pictures of the Jaguar. I apologized that the photos are edited, however, the reason for this is to not compromise the location. Please enjoy, and no negative comments, I've shared pictures before and had negativism, aka HATERS.

 

P.S. Lance, Jack Childs, and UofA are not the only ones getting Jaguar pictures. Many hunters are getting pictures of him, but many are fearful of the implications that the Jaguar can pose to our hunting privileges in Southern Arizona and therefore won't share. A proposed Jaguar Sanctuary/Corridor if implemented would close hunting to all Units South of I-10 from what I've been told.

Not a female. This is the male that everyone has been getting pictures of, which I am able to determine based on his spots. I believe there has only been 1 female heard of in the last 100 years in Arizona, the story goes something along the lines of a man who legally killed a female Jag in the white mountains in 1957, however, was it a naturally occurring female or was it imported from Mexico to then be hunted with hounds, which the guy had (he was a hounds-man)? In any case a female has not been documented ever roaming the hills and slopes of AZ, unlikely the many male Jaguars that have been. Mexico is the only place were you will find females.

No Female jags in the last 100 years? I think you are mistaken on that.

 

1919 Female Jag killed by Lee Parker near Greaterville, AZ.

 

1932 Female Jag killed by unknown hunter near the Grand Canyon Village.

 

1949 Female Jag killed by Walter Noon in the Cerro Colorado mtns.

 

1963 Female Jag killed by Terry Penrod near Big Lake, AZ.

 

Also during this time there have been 7 Jags that were killed in AZ that the sex of the animal was not recorded. This information was from the book Borderland Jaguars. And of course not all Jags killed were recorded.

 

Also prior to 1913 (100+ years ago) there were several Females killed in AZ, and several with cubs.

Lance, I stand corrected. Great information btw, I was not aware that such data existed, I was going off of what I had been told by someone. Regardless the occurrence of a female in Arizona is not likely since there has not been a female documented in many years unlike male Jags. It is possible that there are multiple Jaguars within AZ and NM, however, there is only one currently which is a male that is known of, which you have got many cool pictures of.
