Eighth Jaguar Spotted in the Wild in the U.S. Since the 1990s Discovered in Arizona

Wildlife Videographer Jason Miller Captures Rare Jaguar on Camera in the Huachuca Mountains

Rare jaguar captured on trail camera in Arizona, marking the eighth individual jaguar spotted in the wild in the United States since the 1990s.
The jaguar was discovered by wildlife videographer Jason Miller in the Huachuca Mountains south of Tucson.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department confirmed the jaguar was not previously photographed or filmed, identifying it through its unique rosette pattern.
Jaguars were once plentiful in the American Southwest but were driven out by hunters, particularly predator control agents in Arizona as the state grew.
The jaguar's gender is currently unknown, but every recent jaguar sighting has been a male.
