Large cats!!

Sarah: As the mammal research group from Point Loma was finishing up their time here, some exciting last-minute things happened for them. First, they caught a PUMA on camera! And second, they caught a melanistic JAGUAR on camera...in the middle of the day!! Melanistic means that their skin appears black, so the jaguar in fact looks like a black panther. SO COOL. The pictures are from their camera traps, set up in the forest. Check them out.
