It's about jaguar predation on a sow black bear.

''Removing the bear skull from its zip-lock bag, he shows it to Neils, an expert on black bears from her years studying them in Florida. “This was a young adult female about 230 pounds,” she says. Bugbee then removes the suspected jaguar scat, spritzes it with water, and reseals it in the plastic bag. He waits for an hour and then hides the moistened scat among the cactuses in the front yard.''

The size of the jaguar is unclear : ''He was 120 pounds when he arrived. Now he’s a big adult male in his prime. He’s grown into his name.'' Reply
