I want to talk about migration, borders and jaguar huevos: This photo from 2012 shows the pelotas of a young El Jefe -- the famous jaguar that lived outside #Tucson, Ariz. 2012-2015. El Jefe moved north out of Mexico into Arizona to find new territory away from larger males. /1
El Jefe's huevos in this 2015 detection, just before he skipped town, are noticeable larger. There are only dispersing males in Ariz. The last female in the U.S. was killed in 1963. A breeding population of jaguars exists about 150 miles south of the border. So where'd he go? /2
We don't know where he went. But one thing is for sure. A handsome, mature jaguar like El Jefe would likely be looking for a mate, which means returning south. A border wall separating jaguars is a crime against the wild and a crime against wild love. /3
