Footage of the second litter of jaguar cubs born in the Iberá wetlands of Argentina

Karai and Pora, the jaguar cubs born weeks ago in Iberá Park are already touring a sector of the forest under the watchful eye of their mother. In this way they begin to get to know the different environments where they will spend their lives.

Karai and Pora are the second litter of jaguars born in Corrientes after more than half a century of being extinct in this province.

The jaguar is not only an essential species for maintaining the health and integrity of natural ecosystems, but it also has the potential to become a prime attraction for tourists visiting Corrientes in search of its wildlife and natural landscapes.

Korai and Pora are the second litter born in the project to be reintroduced into the wild. The first litter was mothered by Tania, the same female that is being currently used to help populate the Chaco region as well. She's a pioneer and keystone player in both of these very important milestones.

The Iberá wetlands were likely another ecosistem in which jaguars attained very large sizes, similar to the Pantanal, as the environment, prey elements, and prey congregations were very similar to the Pantanal. The population was later exterminated due to poaching and hunting. Reply
