Page 18 - American Jaguar; Big Cats, Biogeography, and Human Borders
P. 18
“The jaguar is a survivor. It WEBB
has endured historical mass
extinctions and outlasted
other ancient cats that
couldn’t adapt. It has been
worshipped gloriously in
Mesoamerican culture, and
it has been hunted to near-
extinction in the modern
Americas. Still, for the
jaguars of the Borderlands, AMERICAN JAGUAR BIG CATS, BIOGEOGRAPHY, AND HUMAN BORDERS
nothing could prepare it for
the threats of the
twenty-first century—
habitat fragmentation as
a result of a border wall
between the United States
and Mexico. The mighty
jaguar was about to face its
toughest foe yet.”
