The Northern Jaguar Preserve

Season 10 Episode 1004

A little over one hundred miles south of the U.S-Mexico borders in the state of Sonora, international conservation groups have discovered the ideal habitat for jaguars, mountain lions and ocelots. Through their efforts, former cattle ranches in North America now belong to these top predators, who leave their images on cameras that now document populations of the secretive beasts.
