JAGUAR PICTURE: First Seen in Central Mexico Since 1900

[n2doc]

February 11, 2009—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.

The big cat was snapped by a camera trap in the Sierra Nanchititla Natural Reserve.

I thought the picture was going to be of a poop sample. And I was unsure if it was the picture or the poop that was "released" on 2/10.
