Jaguars — the third-largest cats in the world behind lions and tigers — once roamed freely in the American Southwest, but have since disappeared over the past 150 years. Victims of habitat loss and predator control programs intended to protect livestock, jaguars have been all but eliminated from the region.
This past February, a jaguar known as “El Jefe” — or “the boss” in Spanish — was spotted roaming the wooded areas near Tucson, Arizona. This extremely rare video made the 7-year-old male cat the only one of its kind to be documented.

BTW, the jaguar is the undisputed King of the Jungle. It can kill prey much larger than itself, such as alligators and cattle, and carry it up a tree for consumption. They are unsurpassed trackers, hunters, swimmers, and killers. They have the special ability to sink its fangs into the prey's brain, quickly immobilizing the prey. Here's a jaguar surprising and quickly killing an alligator:
