Environmental groups and scientists with two universities want U.S. wildlife managers to consider reintroducing jaguars to the American Southwest.
In a recently published paper, they say habitat destruction, highways and existing segments of the border wall mean that natural reestablishment of the large cats north of the U.S.-Mexico boundary would be unlikely over the next century without human intervention.
Jaguars are currently found in 19 countries, but biologists have said the animals have lost more than half of their historic range from South and Central America into the southwestern United States largely due to hunting and habitat loss.

Well, the article posted before this here at FR was about an old Porsche so why not bring back the old 1960’s Jaguars, cars with real class, sleek lines, and hot women?
They walk around in yards here.
No one can touch them and they know it.
The mangy one I mentioned killed two miniature horses just up the road and the DNR trapped it, “scared it” and released it near where I live.
The DNY literally said the bear was not hungry, the horse were just :in the wrong place at the wrong time”.
They were in their paddock beside their owner’s house.
Where *should* they have been?
WalMart?
Liberals took over the DNR here.
It’s a madhouse.
Look at this fecking huge thing.

My area needs more cougars of the 2 legged variety.
Turns out that Jaguars like the same migration routes as Cartel drug mules.
What an unexpected coincidence.
Can’t have effective border control infrastructure in those places.
Can you order that via Amazon?
“There are no Jag dealers there?”
Plenty in Los Angeles, but the problem is car jackers and thieves.
Just a matter of time before someone is attacked.
When bears lose fear of people, it become statistically inevitable.
Before the term “Wilding” became prominent with the MSM, Central Park had been known for its “Wolf Packs”
“Loony neighbors feed it.”
There’s a ‘nature lover’ down the street from me who feeds the Crows. Now they’re everywhere.
There was a smallish one spotted on a clear-cut(a new one) behind my mom’s place. I don’t think the people at the end of the road have miniatures any more, but there may be sheep.
The undergrowth around here is heavy. No idea how many bears I might have bumped by being noisy. I know I’ve gotten very close before some bolted...silently. The only thing I ever knew to give my pit pause was a 500 pound bear that he could smell, but not see. I saw it...and it wanted nothing to do with us. Pretty sure it’s the monster that was hit by a truck about a mile from where I saw it.
Not sure of the value of this. You now have lions in almost all of the lower 48 states. You’re just setting up a food competition.
I remember fifty years ago when the animal rights groups and Hollywood glitterati called for the re-introduction of wolves to so many areas of the US. They have now become a problem in those areas.
Jaguar = 45 year old horny woman
? Not familiar with that acronym.
Deforestation and human interference has nothing to do with nature.
Yeah, too darn many of those Mercedes around; need more Jags!
It just goes where it pleases and destroys things.
My mom can’t watch her birds out the kitchen window anymore because it not only eats the food, it destroys the feeders and bent the iron pole flat.
I wouldn’t put up with that crap but she’s not me.
Seems like you could rig a rope similar to the ones they recommend hanging food on when camping in bear country and put the feeder up high. If it’s that predictable, a small balloon full of toxic hot sauce stuck inside a piece of fruit might be in order.
The jaguars are fast. But they’ll never catch a Road Runner.
