Today we stopped by the Trail to see these beauties: The Jaguars
Many people are surprised to learn that jaguars are native to Arizona. In fact, their range once spanned from Argentina to the southern United States, including portions of California, New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana. In Arizona, they could be found as far north as the Grand Canyon.
In recent decades, however, there’s been an uptick. Seven male jaguars, members of a population in Sonora, Mexico, were recorded in the mountains of southeast Arizona in the years from 1996 to 2021. In addition, two young males, Valero and El Bonito, have been photographed traveling just south of the U.S./Mexico border multiple times since 2019.
In the 1800s, as ranchers and homesteaders made their way west, the federal government promoted campaigns to eliminate large predators from the landscape. By the 20th century, jaguar populations were devastated, and sightings were few and far between. Males were only seen sporadically, and the last female was killed in Arizona’s White Mountains in 1963.
