Really?
Which areas?
North, central, south? All?
Interesting. Thanks.
Not all of course or you couldn’t let your dog out...
Jaguars used to range as far as far north as the SW US and Louisiana, but while there are occasional sightings of lone animals, probably young males here, there are no longer known to breed here. The most recent one trapped was in Arizona in 2009.
They range southward into Argentina.
This was kinda nasty, but it was fun to see the reaction:
I trout fished in the Smoky Mtns Nat’l Park for years...
PETA was protesting trout fishing, saying “Can’t you hear those poor trout screaming for their lives on that hook?”
I usually released most of the trout I caught, but the day of their protest at Sugarlands Ranger Station, I kept one about 10-12 inches and went to the station...
As I walked toward the protesters, one saw me in my fishing garb and screamed, “There’s one of them!!!”
I calmly reached in my creel and pulled out the flopping trout and lifted it up to my mouth and took a big bite out of it’s side...I looked at the protester and asked if she heard it screaming...
She promptly screamed and then vomited all over herself....
A Ranger friend of mine came running out when he heard the commotion, saw me and said “Oh...It’s you...”
He turned and went back inside...
I LOVED IT!!!!!
