A Jaguar shot in the Rincons - 1902

Arizona Historical Society photo.

A population of Jaguars are slowly beginning to flourish in the South West of the United States. Thought to be an extinct species, they are now known to be returning. Using drug mules routes across the Mexican border they are migrating from the South to the Arizona and New Mexico regions.

Jaguars are the largest native American cat. They once roamed much of the South West, but when ranchers took cattle to the region in the last century, the jaguars were hunted and trapped to extinction in the USA. The last known resident female was killed in 1963 near the Grand Canyon.
