First Jaguar seen in Central America since 1900

Alright! For all you Overlanders out there, watch where you leave your granola bars while camping in Mexico!

The largest cat in the Americas is alive and well in the heart of Mexico, scientists say.

Three photographs of a male jaguar and exactly 132 poop samples (including the one above, released February 10) are the first known evidence of the predator since the early 1900s.
