Bring the Jaguar back to the Southwest U.S.?
- Thread starter TheGLOV
- Start date
how long until they make their way to the Southeast, we have armadillos in GA
armadillos are not the list

I thought that they were making their way back into the southwestern USA already
Let them return naturally. Man's interference with nature never ends well. We force nature into unnatural places and environs where they struggle quite often. Add in danger in more populated areas. Natural encroachment is a better option.
Urban is their new coach...everyone beats the Jaguars!
They are still high maintenance vehicles, so keep them in the southwest so they don't clutter up our roads .....

They have. They've been seen in southern Arizona and New Mexico.
Elusive jaguar and ocelot captured on Southern Arizona trail cameras
Two of the desert's rarest species, a jaguar and an ocelot, showed up again on trail cameras in the rugged southern Arizona mountains

There was one seen on a trail cam in SW Arizona outside of Tucson.
yea but its a gorgeous car. If a car can be "sexy" this is it. Ahhhhhhhh....The are still high maintenance vehicles, so keep them in the southwest so they don't clutter up our roads .....
Some decades ago not too far from Billings Montana, the local newspaper got a new editor from 'back east' who was decided that it would be a good idea to use his new platform to advocate for the reintroduction of wolf populations. As you might imagine, the local sheep and cattle ranchers weren't enthralled by that idea.
So one morning, the editor opened his front door to get his daily newspaper, and found a pile of slaughtered sheep sitting on his front porch step.
Problem solved.

It's not quite that simple. I suggest you research the recent study and resultant TV feature regarding the many positive impacts environmentally in Yellowstone National Park since the reintroduction of the wolf.
With our open borders it is inevitable that jaguars will be re-established in areas with the proper ecosystem.
Absolutely, until they expend their habit area until it comes into contact with human population centers and a few school children get eaten. Then we kill them all!
Thanks for clarifying Turk. I don't want to be associated in any way with Urban Meyer.
Ok now I get the joke. It’s been a while since Ive been to the Iowa wrestling boards
They don't do well in Urban environments
Maybe we should put them and crocodiles at the southern border to slow down illegal trafficking and smuggling. It’s not a wall.😜
Even longer since the PSU wrestling boards? I'm a former PSU alumni chapter president.
Were you on thematforums? I recognize the handle, but not from our wrestling board I don’t think….
Holy badass...........
I happen to be going to the east central AZ mountains next week. Just a quick trip to get some apples !
Have been in remote sky island country down their. The Tohono O Odham nation is adamantly opposed to the border wall. Two main reasons I was told: Their tribe is on both sides of the border. They used to have a gate that they could just go through AND.....more pertinent to this topic for the sacred animals including the Jaguar to have access to roam freely.
I lived a good period in WYO grizzly country and now AZ. I have never seen so much black bear sign as one can in these sky island wildernesses in eastern central AZ . Also plenty of big kitty (mountain lion) tracks and scat.
I heard similar when I was in Tucson and heard it from more than one community and heard similar things in Terligua, TX
Went to Big Bend last Thanksgiving and the natural reintroduction of the black bear from Mexico is a fascinating look at what might happen with the Jaguar, ocelot, and other cats.
Cool stuff sir!
Thank you!
Now only if we could do the same for the Red Wolf in the east!!
Agreed. It seems like the efforts in eastern NC haven’t been as successful as hoped. Those in east Texas have been breeding with Coyotes and I doubt you could find a true red wolf out here.
I believe I am correct that there are extremely few true red wolves now left anywhere in the United States. It bothers me that most Americans could give a s**t about what to me are important things like the balance of nature. Just "burn baby burn" and "dig baby dig".
