Automated cameras have filmed at least two jaguars creeping across Southern Arizona since late August (2004), offering fresh evidence that the endangered cats at least visit here from México.

A single camera captured two separate jaguars on September 25, 2004 and September 26, 2004. The cats are territorial, and the two males may have been so close because they were sniffing around for each other's scent.
