AZBearhunter Report post Posted July 8, 2013 You would have to believe there is more then one Jag in So Arizona, doesn't seem possible for just a single cat coming north... . Thanks again for the Look... I think your on the money, I have my suspicions and I am thinking that there may be more Jags in AZ and NM. However, we currently only know of this one single male, and the previous 2 Jaguars, Macho A and macho B were single male Jaguars also. Male Mt. lions and Male Jaguars have been known to have home ranges that can exceed 100miles. It is theorized that male Jaguars such as this present one, can be pushed out by other male Jaguars and forced to find there own territory. If there are more Jaguars in the U.S. we have yet to find out. Time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZBearhunter Report post Posted July 10, 2013 With all the folks that have got a Jaguar on film in So Az, either the cams are set in the same area or crazy lucky to pick them up in another area, I have heard the spots on Jags faces are unique to each cat (like a fingerprint) so maybe those who have Jaguar photos could compare pics and get a better idea of if Macho L has more relatives in the area... Thanks Again to all who have shared their jaguar photos and information... In the case of my pictures I got lucky. I put my camera on a water source like I always do and bam he came by twice. Like you said, sometimes someone has got pictures of him before and continues to get pictures of him at the same location. Like myself I believe many who have gotten pictures of this male Jaguar did so by accident. I can tell you that I never put out my cameras to get pictures of the Jaguar, it just happened, and I think that can be said for most others. You are correct Jaguars do have a unique spot pattern like a fingerprint and out of the 20+ pictures I have of him, I have compared it to pictures that others have taken and it is the same Jaguar. This is how we know there is only one here at the time. Trust me if there was another around the same area someone would have already got pictures of it and figured out it was a different Jaguar based on the spots, and it probably would make the news.
