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)
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
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.
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!!! 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!
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.
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.
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.....
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.
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.
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!
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.....
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!
@@olliefoxx7165 Indeed. Google or use whatever search engine you want. Should be articles on azcentral and Phoenix new times. Macho B was his code name.
I love Jaguars so much, they're mad OP and incredible animals. Beautiful, too. I am so excited to see more jaguars in the US, part of their native ranges as well. New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, southern Cali. They use to be so much more widespread and to see their numbers returning up here makes me so happy. Thank you for snagging this cool footage of this elusive beast!
yes......the numbers just increased from 0 to 1, but also it is not clear if this animal is just a border crossing animal or constant living one. But yes, there is more often confirmed sightenings of animals which are crossing the borders from time to time. So at least that means that the small population in mexico is protected and accepted.....
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!
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.
I fell in love with the Jaguars at the zoo in Peru. Magnificent animals. I was wondering how they did with mtn lion competition, one commenter said that jaguars eat the cougars!
Naming him cochise is perfect. Cochise spirit lives in southern Arizona, his name and recognition in Arizona is well documented and respected by historians and natives of Arizona. Asho brother. The Apache would be proud to have such a beautiful skilled hunting animal to be named after the man, the legend, COCHISE
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.
There are more than a few cougars in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I first saw tracks in February of 2018 before the Michigan DNR admitted to the public that they were even here. I have yet to get video of one on my trail cam. However I have no problem with bears and wolves. A friend of mine has a trail cam picture of a cougar that is about 5 or so mile North of my home. They are definitely here.
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!!
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.

@@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.

Amazing! Congratulations! Let's do all we can to saVe these magnificent creatures and the habitat they need to to survive and thrive. DOWN WITH THE WALL!!!
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.
Jason is "The Man"! Your videos are always fantastic but NOW, a Jaguar! Are you kidding me! Thanks for all your hard work to provide these awesome videos!
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.
As someone from SW Utah on AZ border, I can appreciate what went into you getting these images. Awesome! Hope that cat stays away from lion hunters and their hounds.
Dude I’m a native born Arizonan and I’ve lived in Tucson and traveled to Nogales but never heard about a jaguar in our beloved state. Awesome simply awesome 🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻💯
I live on the coastline of Connecticut where mountain lions have been seen. I have seen many bobcats so I know what they look like. One morning I happened to be looking out a window of my house and saw a medium dog-sized cat with spots and a long tail walking along a fence line--trotting along as if he was perfectly comfortable with being there. I was unable to grab a camera, but I know it wasn't a bobcat because it was so lithe and long-tailed and had a longish neck and jawline. I haven't been able to satisfy myself that it was a young mountain lion because the spots were so pronounced and more leopard-like--not in quantity of spots but in their shape and coloring. I know that the range of large cats is very big, so I may never see it again and I don't know if I ever do want to see it. Congratulations to you, though. Thanks for affirming that these cats may be where we don't expect to see them.
Fantastic, Jason! All your work and advocacy is paying off. thank you! Let's just hope game and fish don't try to capture and collar this one, and let him roam free. He's gorgeous and healthy! And we second the name Cochise!
OMG, that is an unbelievable sighting and they are so so rare. Did you report that to the wildlife authorities so they can keep track of the sighting? It's amazing, that must have been unbelievable to see that on your camera. Amazing that must have been
Just beautiful that not only it's presence, but it somewhat confirms the presence of a breeding population. Long may they live ! * cuing 'BORN FREE' * 🙂

THANK YOU SIR FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME FOOTAGE OF THE WILDLIFE IN OUR STATE OF ARIZONA TRULY BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS AND GREAT FOOTAGE!!!!👍👍🥰❤
Glad you enjoyed it
So glad you are cognizant of not releasing the location because of poachers!
That big cat in the beginning looks like a healthy mountain lion. Wow. Great vidoe. So awesome to see wildlife in the wild from a safe distance. 😂
Congratulations...love it. You're like the boy who found the grand prize!
Good stuff Jason!!

Magnificent footage of a magnificent cat❣️
Amazing! I am in Phœnix and love seeing this. ❤
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! 😊
Thank you!
Amazing! Congratulations! Let's do all we can to saVe these magnificent creatures and the habitat they need to to survive and thrive. DOWN WITH THE WALL!!!
I dunno about that - they're not sending us their best jaguars. ;P (Just kidding - I agree with you about the magnificent creatures).
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.
Congratulations! I picked up this video from my news feed, so your story has traveled. Congrats for that!!
Thank you so much!
Jason is "The Man"! Your videos are always fantastic but NOW, a Jaguar! Are you kidding me! Thanks for all your hard work to provide these awesome videos!
Thank you so much!
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.
El Jefe has been gone since 2015. Is this the first Jaguar sighting in the United States in almost 9 years? Congratulations. Great work.
Beautiful! It's great that we still have wilderness type areas where these animals won't be bothered (hopefully) and can thrive.
As someone from SW Utah on AZ border, I can appreciate what went into you getting these images. Awesome! Hope that cat stays away from lion hunters and their hounds.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. That jaguar is a long ways from the jungle.
Dude I’m a native born Arizonan and I’ve lived in Tucson and traveled to Nogales but never heard about a jaguar in our beloved state. Awesome simply awesome 🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻💯
I live on the coastline of Connecticut where mountain lions have been seen. I have seen many bobcats so I know what they look like. One morning I happened to be looking out a window of my house and saw a medium dog-sized cat with spots and a long tail walking along a fence line--trotting along as if he was perfectly comfortable with being there. I was unable to grab a camera, but I know it wasn't a bobcat because it was so lithe and long-tailed and had a longish neck and jawline. I haven't been able to satisfy myself that it was a young mountain lion because the spots were so pronounced and more leopard-like--not in quantity of spots but in their shape and coloring. I know that the range of large cats is very big, so I may never see it again and I don't know if I ever do want to see it. Congratulations to you, though. Thanks for affirming that these cats may be where we don't expect to see them.
INCREDIBLE!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
Oh man, just WOW!!! How friggin cool is THAT?? So beautiful and majestic 😍👏🏻😻🎉❤️😹🐆
I agre... Thank you!
The true king of the jungle, slowly regaining his former range. You sir are very lucky.
Fantastic, Jason! All your work and advocacy is paying off. thank you! Let's just hope game and fish don't try to capture and collar this one, and let him roam free. He's gorgeous and healthy! And we second the name Cochise!
OMG, that is an unbelievable sighting and they are so so rare. Did you report that to the wildlife authorities so they can keep track of the sighting? It's amazing, that must have been unbelievable to see that on your camera. Amazing that must have been
Thank you!
