We took school to the zoo last week. We observed the jaguars in the rainforest habitat and located the equator. We learned about conserving the rainforest and protecting its inhabitants! Did you know that every spotted and striped cat in the wild is endangered? How incredibly sad. :(
It was nice to see the zoo's new jaguar babies. My friend Lisa thinks they saw the jaguars being conceived!!! Fun stuff!! I also observed the mother jag engage her babies in play, tire after a few minutes, and leap high onto the roof of the exhibit where her babies could not pester her anymore. That is the equivalent to human mothers locking the door on the bathroom and pretending to use the facilities when they're really hiding out with an mp3 player or a good book. Not that I would know ANYTHING about that.
Those are some awesome pics of the jaguars. And I totally agree that it's really sad that all spotted and striped cats are on the endangered list.
