Hey, Dutchy. I thought this thread was about to go the way of that beautiful beast. Right, Aussie, but by March he'll be gone. Ain't he something?
Will be in March, Dutchy, but he's waiting for his flight. I got the idea for this place when I saw that one of his ilk killed a lady Zookeeper.
Just read a female zoo keeper was killed by a Jaguar in Denver today, the animal was also shot and killed. Is that what you're alluding to?
Exactly, but this fellow hasn't gotten to the U.S. as yet.
Not Asia, Dutchy. Check out were the jaguar came from that they had to put down.
Will do later Letty, offline for a while, things to attend to.
My word, Dutchy. I've forgotten. Actually, all I want is where the jaguar was before he was brought to the U.S.
Will be back tomorrow. Goodnight Letty.
Belize?
Belize has a jaguar preserve in the south, I believe. And at the tiny Belize zoo, I met a rescued jaguar named Pedro, who would come when you called him. (However, there was a little sign that warned about putting your fingers through the cage mesh!)
Hey, Tico/Ti. My specific jaguar is not in Belize, TO, nor is he in my garage.
This link is funny, and will be a clue.

Not humorous in the respect that the zoo keeper was killed, but in the siblings' names.
Found this in Google: See last paragraph for your answer Letty.
DENVER (Reuters)- A male jaguar killed a zookeeper at the Denver Zoo on Saturday and employees put the animal down, police said.
"I can confirm that a female worker was killed and we're still conducting an investigation," Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said.
According to a statement posted on the zoo's Web site (www.denverzoo.org), the 6-year-old jaguar attacked the unidentified worker inside its enclosure late Saturday morning. Armed employees entered the enclosure to retrieve the injured woman when the cat threatened them.
"The jaguar approached staff trying to assist the zookeeper and it was shot and killed," the statement said.
The mauled worker was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead, Jackson said. Her identity and age were not released.
The zoo was closed after the incident, but the public was never in danger, zoo officials said.
The 140-pound jaguar, named Jorge, came to the Denver Zoo from the Santa Cruz Zoo in Bolivia in March 2005 after he was orphaned in the wild. This month, the zoo announced it had obtained a 16-month-old female jaguar to breed with Jorge.
That's the place, Dutchy. Your turn.
Well, we are back to the real game!
