A zoo curator friend of mine at the Texas Zoo, who passed away a couple years ago, Jay Jensen was attempting to gather evidence that jaguars still survive in South Texas. Similar to thylacines, there have been occasional sightings by untrained observers...perhaps mistaken ocelots or cougars, but perhaps not? My friend Jay would had enjoyed seeing this video.
Of course they do. There are Jaguars in Mexico only makes sense they make their way up to Texas and AZ etc to find better life lmao even the Mexicans do it (that was a joke for fucks sake dont come for me i love mexicans)
Back in 1967 my mom and I was feeding horses 2 miles outside of Prescott and for a minute or more we watched a black panther walk around by our house. Believe it or not it's true. I was 10 years old then and I will never forget it. True Story.
My husband and I lived right outside of Sedona and would hear stories that people had spotted Jaguars. Pretty amazing to catch them on camera. Thanks for the hard work.
Wow! Absolutely amazing! I seen an article on the web also and this one is different from the other known Jaguars in the country. Only 8 spotted in the US since 1990! So this is a remarkable find! 👏
Wow!!! Thank you!! "During the 1800s, jaguars spanned all over the United States, from California to the Carolinas. But hunting played a significant role in decreasing their numbers. In 1949, the last female jaguar in the United States was hunted and killed in Arizona. Since then, some jaguars have been spotted in Arizona, near the US-Mexico border. There is a possibility of the jaguar returning to the USA - after nearly 80 years! One such jaguar, “El Jefe” has been spotted in the USA a few times over the past decade" They eat bears too...Love from Canada
It is likely just wandering males, which can cover 100s of miles. With the wall going up don't expect to see a lot more of these types of sightings in the US.
Wow!!! This is so cool, just saw the confirmation this is a new jaguar, hopefully a female. Crazy to see all those alpha predators together in an area like this. Mountain lions, jaguars, and black bears, oh my!
Really really awesome to see! Thanks for all of your hard work getting that beautiful cat on camera. And for keeping the location secret. All the best! 😊
Congratulations my friend. Well done. It's so good to see a new Jaguar in AZ. It's been a while since I've seen or heard anything from the colleges or other studiers/trackers of AZ Jaguars. I hope the Jaguar once again repopulates the US, especially AZ. They lived here before, they can live here again. Thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor. Congratulations again. Best wishes and God bless. 👍🙏 Liked and subbed.....
A really nice look at the kitty in it’s own world. Great work, and thank you for the opportunity to share it with you. That big silly grin was well earned. When a person sets a personal goal, and finally achieves it, they deserve to swim in that great feeling. Without goals, and work, we are waiting to pass on.
OMG! unbelievable! To actually catch this animal is amazing. Glad you are such an animal supporter. They need all the help they can get with us humans around.....
I had a co-worker about 30 yrs. ago that was hiking near Wet Beaver Creek just southeast of Sedona. She swears she saw a black panther that was stalking her. She was so scared she ran back to her campsite as fast as she could. She said it was no house cat, but a large black cat.
@@Encourageable Yes, and it has a tributary called Dry Beaver Creek. One has constantly flowing water, the other pretty much dry except for runoff from winter snow fall.
Back around 1985, my family and I were driving back from Mexico, and we were in a very sparsely populated area. My uncle pulled over the car to look at the stars, and I have never seen the Milky Way look like that before or since - it did not just look cloudy, it looked like millions of tiny stars packed so close together as to create a cloudy look. As we drove away, I looked out the back window and saw a giant black cat at least the size of a mountain lion. Its eyes glowed emerald green. I'm pretty sure I saw a Black Panther/Jaguar, but of course no one believed me at the time. That face and those eyes were so beautiful that I can still picture them in my mind's eye.
It looked to me like it wasn't snarling but getting the full bouquet of the scat it was smelling the way felines do. It really was a cool facial expression to catch!
Good to know that ocelots and jaguars are still alive out there in southern AZ. Nice ring tail cat, javelin, black bears, and mountain lions too. Such beautiful animals.
You notice he’s “gaping” I believe… taking in excess air molecules to taste the air! Cats do that often to gather more sensory information. Great catch!
I know the thrill of getting a mountain lion on trail cam here in WA State but a jaguar is something else! Congratulations thanks for your time and effort!
Wow what a fantastic video… I love backpack camping in the sticks in the winter because I always thought the bears were asleep in winter here in Southern Arizona.. lol I guess not😱… thanks for sharing the great video!
Congratulations Jason!! So well deserved for you to capture this magnificent beautiful animal on camera!! I hope he's a new one so you can name him Cochise!! You deserve that honor for all your hard work! Thank you Jason!! 🤠💖
Just read that it's been confirmed as a new jaguar. Congratulations! It will be interesting to see if your mountain lion captures go down; studies showed that when Macho A and B were active, they were killing and eating the local lions. We're going to be building a place in the Dragoons this year and will be putting out our trail cams. Hope we "meet" Cochise!
@@hexane8 Yes they are! That big male jaguar probably outweighs the mountain lions by 15-20% and have massive neck and shoulder muscles in comparison. In Africa we've witnessed lions doing the same with cheetahs.
@@exploringoverland Wow! I can imagine under the right circumstances, an adult human would be prey. I, for instance, wouldn't stand a chance even with a mountain lion. A bobcat could probably even take me down if it had a mind to! lol!!
This pic is even more rare than an out-of-focus 8ft tall Alien hanging out at the mall! What a find! Nice work, Jason! Hopefully we'll see more in the near future.
So happy for your success, sharing your joy. I find myself in a place of praise when I am blessed to see Gods amazing creatures in their own habitat. Thank you for sharing, God bless you with many’s years doing what u love.
Congrats. Don't tell anyone exactly where you got the cameras, except maybe wildlife researchers. lets hope 2024 is even better, and that you get more Jaguar videos. Pretty cool.
Incredible! The jaguar is doing what's called the Flehmen response. It's believed to open the entrance to the vomeronasal (AKA Jacobson's) organ and allow the detection of pheromones in the scat. Back when I worked with jaguars as a zookeeper, they would do this frequently around piles of scat or urine scent markings.
Wow!!!! What an incredible video of that majestic beast!!!! The first mtn lion in your video is a beauty too!!! You hit the jackpot of wildlife corridors for sure!!! That trail has quite the variety of species & seems to stay quite busy!!!!! Great work!! Thank u for sharing this gorgeous jaguar with us!!!
This is amazing!! The ring-tail cat and best of all the jaguar!! Love the name, its so fitting. We recently moved here so we finally did some hiking and saw a big family of coatimundo! Thank you again for all you do and having quality video.
Outstanding! Congratulations! When you reported it to the folks doing the Jaguar studies, did they tell you if that one has already been monitored or do we have a new one?! Hope it's a new one.
So magnificent and awesome - happy to know these creatures still exist in the US. Don't ever reveal where you are this or else you're inviting a bad element there to capture, hunt, or otherwise spoil the area. Good for you.
@@uncletony6210no they actually are visitors from small northern Mexican population, so we no longer have a native population of our own since the last female was shot in the 50’s.

@@Mikel3564far more likely to killed south of the border than in the U.S. for as many people there are in the U.S. there is very few poaching animals. Most of the people doing the poaching weren’t born here. Certain people from the far east get busted poaching diamond back terrapins on the Jersey shore for “medicine”. When I see them creeping around the salt marshes while I’m fishing or crabbing I just post up until they realize I’m not gonna leave and they can’t dig up their nests. I called the fish and game on one guy who had two dozen baby turtles in a cooler. Not that I’m a snitch, I just love wildlife and don’t want people destroying our country.
Such a beautiful, majestic creature. I had no idea jaguars lived in North America. I thought they were mostly in South America. I wonder how far their range went before so many people settled the area.
Fantastic. Great job and important information. That must have been a hell of a buzz seeing that for the first time. I really adore jaguars. They’re my favourite big cat. Their coats are absolutely gorgeous. Are there many jaguars in Arizona? I had no clue they went so far north. I know they used to but with boundaries at the border I thought that would severely hamper their movement. I hope you get many more sightings of Cochise in future buddy.
Subscribed !! Great Job Jason !! Just found you, and this was a great catch. ** What trail cam you use ?? ** Some say yours may not have the IR that scares away the big cats ( and some others ). Either way, I need a cam for my place. Thanks !! (( P.S. you’re my “ John Muir “ of Southern Ariz, & thanks for your conservation efforts my friend !! )). Cheers
You need to turn this video into the Meat Eater crew. They have talked numerous times about Jaguars in North America and they have talked extensively about “El Jefe’”. This could be a big step in conservation for bringing back Jaguars in America. Awareness and good volume can really help these animals. Good on you and amazing footage!
Other than a clear frontal video of Sasquatch, you hit the Jack Pot of wildlife videos!
Haha, thanks!
Lol for real!
The border worriers stopped shooting every wild thing dead as a "defense"
I think it’s a man in a monkey suit…
I've seen full frontal of sasquatch. He's called Bigfoot, but the correlation ends there.
Well done ! I was SO happy to read that you aren't going to give away the location. It is the most considerate and respectful choice.

I'm so excited to see that it's been confirmed that this is a new jaguar. You must be elated! Congratulations!
Yes! I still can't believe it... Thank you
Subscribed !! Great Job Jason !! Just found you, and this was a great catch. ** What trail cam you use ?? ** Some say yours may not have the IR that scares away the big cats ( and some others ). Either way, I need a cam for my place. Thanks !! (( P.S. you’re my “ John Muir “ of Southern Ariz, & thanks for your conservation efforts my friend !! )). Cheers
Thank you so much!
I use Suspect Gamecameras and Browning HP5
You need to turn this video into the Meat Eater crew. They have talked numerous times about Jaguars in North America and they have talked extensively about “El Jefe’”. This could be a big step in conservation for bringing back Jaguars in America. Awareness and good volume can really help these animals. Good on you and amazing footage!
Thank you!
How absolutely marvellous! Thank you. It is so inspiring to see cameras seeking wildlife instead of weapons. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
