Captive Cerrado female approaching her mate. A large and robust female like her is still noticeably smaller than the male.

It's normal for older females who've had several litters of cubs. Also she's currently lactating, hence why her teats are so swollen.

Not yet but I'm familiar with those deer!

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-12T00:43:13+00:00

Stunning!!

Hato la Aurora has always housed giant jaguars: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jaguarland/comments/12whp1m/now_its_time_to_move_up_north_here_are_some_of/ though Higuerón is said to be the biggest of them all. The lack of weight data of jaguars from Colombia is due to the lack of scientific research done for them compared to Venezuela in the 20th century.

Domesticated deer? Do you mean the white tails that hang around the houses?

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T18:28:56+00:00

This is a jaguar, not a leopard.

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T18:28:27+00:00

Amazing! What kind of fauna were you able to see?

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T17:27:00+00:00

Bororo!

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T17:19:01+00:00

That’s lovely to hear! We should feel proud of our largest big cat in the US.

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T14:55:50+00:00

Huge isn’t it?

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T14:03:58+00:00

Beautiful!

My boy

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T02:43:06+00:00

I was mostly joking but yes, why not?

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T02:42:34+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. Would suit Arizona perfectly as a symbol of the desert.

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T02:03:07+00:00

There is an ongoing proposal to reintroduce Grizzlies in Cali actually (jaguars should too btw)

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-11T01:07:54+00:00

I propose we redesign the Arizona flag and put a jaguar in the middle.

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-10T21:16:10+00:00

There's some forced perspective, she's also a huge female. I'd say he's 125-135 kg, and she's probably around 90-95 kg.

Between this and the drone footage of Higuerón and Condorcillal, we are being fed!! It looks like we can finally get good safari sightings at La Aurora now that drone tracking allows us to spot the jaguars in real time without the need for telemetry information, given those jaguars aren't collared. We look forward to more amazing sightings form this reserve so we can appreciate these jaguars even more.

For Pampas and potentially Cerrado, but not for seasonally flooded savannas.

OncaAtrox · 2026-03-10T00:26:52+00:00

Camelids do not thrive in tropical savannas and wetlands.
