 The
jaguar is an amazing animal. It can run very fast. It is an excellent
swimmer, too. In fact, it is the most water loving of the cats. Jaguars
can be found in Mexico, Central
America, North America, and South America. However, it is extremely hard to see jaguars
in the wild today. This is because they are endangered. So it is important
to make efforts to increase their numbers.
Recently, the San Diego Zoo in California reported exciting news. A pair of healthy jaguar
cubs were born at the zoo
for the first time in 30 years! The zoo is very excited about the
birth.
“Here at the San Diego Zoo, our female jaguar just gave birth
to two cubs. We are very excited about this and we are ecstatic. We haven’t had
babies here in 30 years," said senior keeper Nicole Johnston.
The four-month-old cubs made their public debut last week. They don’t
have names yet. Many people are visiting the zoo to see the lovely
animals. Soon, they will grow up to become strong
beasts. In fact, jaguars
are the largest cat in the Western Hemisphere.
Jaguars have beautiful fur. People have killed many jaguars for their
fur. This is one of the reasons why they are endangered today. In
addition, loss of habitat has reduced the populations of jaguars from
North America through South America. Let’s hope the newborn jaguar cubs will
help increase their population! |
