ARIZONA (KVOA) - The Arizona Game and Fish Department shared a Facebook post on Thursday of two wild cats that have been seen in Arizona regions for over four years.
AGFD shared the most recent picture of the Jaguar from Jan. 6 in the Dos Cabezas and Chiricahua Mountains.
This is the same Jaguar that has been seen in this area since November 2016 with 45 documented events, according to AGFD.
This ocelot has been seen in this area since My 2012 with 94 reported events, AGFD said

Ping, you might be interested
Good luck to the beauties. Probably no mates to be had, one and out.
Build the wall
Jaguar were once found in Virginia but that was
over 200 years ago, as I recall.

Healthy-looking male jaguar like that, I’m almost certain that Arizona Fish & Game has already anaesthetised him, and pulled semen from him, which they’ll either preserve, or use to impregnate captive females.
What a terrible thing to say, you'd be cutting off their food supply.
Thanks to Jeff Chandler for the article.
It is probably a registered democrat ad voted for Bidet
But where is George L Mountainlion?!
Yeah, but the thing about cats is they can interbreed. Might be some jaguar/panther or ocelot/bobcat hybrids out there.
probably got tired of the loser scene in jacksonville...
I don’t know about these guys, but I have a 2005 S-Type in Radiance Red with 89,000 miles on it.
Cool! I’m in southern AZ. The bottom one looks a bit like a bobcat. Had one in my backyard. A mother bobcat has her litter where we live.
Those mountains are south of I-10 headed towards NM.
3 years ago, in the wine country, some reliable people reported seeing a big black, CoC mountain lion during and after the big fire.
Flash forward 3 years, and after the second forest fire, this big and dark CoC was seen strolling down the streets of San Francisco.
I wouldn’t say that, there may be an actual breeding population there in addition jaquars have been known to frequent thst territory, I don’t know much about the ocelots.
two entirely different animals?
Yes, jaquars are bigger than leopards , a little smaller than female lions, ocelots judt a little larger than bobcats.
