In January 2021, Argentina released three jaguars into the Iberá Wetlands, a region where the species had been extinct for 70 years. Scientists gave the project a decade to prove itself. Four years later, the population had grown well beyond expectations, with births occurring in the wild for the first time in generations.The wetlands span 13,000 square kilometers in Corrientes Province in northea…

Argentina released three jaguars into a capybara-filled swamp as a bold rewilding experiment, hoping to restore a predator missing for decades. The big cats adapted faster than anyone predicted, hunting prey and breeding successfully in the dense marshlands.
In January 2018, a camera trap on San Alonso Island in Corrientes Province, Argentina, recorded footage that the research team had to review twice before acknowledging what it showed. Two jaguar cubs, alive and moving, had been born on Argentine soil for the first time in nearly 70 years. The field manager watched the clip four times before sending it to the team. She attached no text to the messa…
A jaguar just returned to southern Arizona and drank at a remote desert water source for nearly five minutes, captured on a University of Arizona camera network. Researchers named him Siniik, the latest in a string of males reclaiming territory lost over a century ago.
In November 2025, a camera network operated by the University of Arizona recorded a jaguar at a remote desert water source in southern Arizona. Several months later, in early 2026, the same animal returned and was filmed drinking at the water’s edge for nearly five minutes. Researchers have begun calling him Siniik.The sighting is the latest in a series of recorded jaguar visits to the American So…
