From the Arizona Daily Star:
Automated cameras have filmed at least two jaguars creeping across Southern Arizona since late August, offering fresh evidence that the endangered cats at least visit here from Mexico.
The jaguars’ full bodies and unmistakable spotted coats are visible in all four of the nighttime shots, taken near the border, south of Tucson, in oak woodlands. It’s still unclear if the secretive species is residing permanently in the United States.
Commonly associated with the tropics, jaguars were regularly shot by hunters in the American Southwest in the 20th century. Biologists say a colony of 70 to 100 jaguars persists about 135 miles south of Douglas.
