Kaaiyana, a jaguar with cubs in the Kaa-Iya del Gran Chaco National Park, Bolivia

2012 
Park guards and visitors have recently (September-December 2011) observed and photographed a very tame and calm female jaguar and her two cubs at the Estacion Isoso camp in the Kaa-Iya del Gran Chaco National Park. The photographs have al- lowed researchers to confirm that she is the same female recorded in systematic camera-trap surveys at the same site in 2005 and 2006. During the second survey she was observed and photographed with a large cub, confirming that she has been reproductively active over a five-year period, and has evidently occupied roughly the same range. In 2006 she was also photographed in the company of a male, the only camera-trap record for Kaa-Iya of a male-female pair. The two camera-trap surveys contrast the site fidelity of this female with the apparently much higher turnover of males; only one of four males was present in both surveys that took place less than one year apart.
