Thougth it would be a cool to post here. It appears to be old news, but yesterday Yahoo news had on its site a cool pic of a jaguar treed in New Mexico. Twice rancher/hunting guide Warner Glenn dog's have treed what he thought were mountain lions until he saw it with his own eyes. He was the first person to take a pic of a living jaguar in the wild in the USA in 1996. His dogs treed their second jaguar in 2006. Will the jaguar make a come back in the US southwest or will a new border fence stop that?

Maybe there is a re-introduction program being established so we can have them roaming the west. They might be a good competitor to the wolves. :haha:
