14 DAY TRIAL // The jaguars living in Mexico, Central America, Brazil, Argentina and several other regions are not exactly having the time of their life, meaning that their overall headcount has been steadily declining over the years.
However, news from the Peruvian Amazon says that the jaguars inhabiting these lands are pretty much the kings and queens of local jungles.
According to Mongabay, the conservation areas set up in this part of the world are currently home to about 6,000 such felines.
“Our results indicate that there are more females than males in our populations. This is good news since the number of breeding females is usually the limiting factor in a population. Males travel over larger areas and can mate with multiple females,” conservationist Mathia Tobler pointed out.
These estimates are based on information collected by means of camera trapping, the same source informs us.
Conservationists say that the results of this research concerning the jaguar population in the Peruvian Amazon are encouraging, to say the least.
