  • Reflecting with Maderas at the San Diego Zoo

    I’ve watched her grow since she was born. Watched her rough-house with her brother Tikal and explore the world around her just like any child would do. 

    Maderas is now 9 months old. Watching her last week was a little bittersweet – she isn’t a baby anymore. The once playful cub is now coming into her own and becoming quite the elegant jaguar, just like her mother Nindiri.

  • Baby jaguars love to play

    We have watched these two grow up and each time we visit the San Diego Zoo they just get cuter and cuter. In this video clip, Tikal and Maderas play with their mom Nindiri and at times seem to be fighting for her attention. It’s hard to believe they will be 3 months old next week. Too cute!
