Jaguar track
Panthera onca
16.9941, -89.0473
Field Notes
Description:
Jaguar paw imprint. This is about 3½" across, impressed into wet mud, and I tracked it for several feet down a trail. Of about twenty good imprints, these were the clearest.
Habitat:
The tracks were found near a house in close proximity to a creek, which leads to the Macal River, from which the jaguar probably emerged.
Notes:
I was shown the tracks by a Belizean man, and we followed them for some distance. The jaguar had appeared the previous night in an open thatched hut, frightening a man who had been sleeping there, then being frightened in return, it leaped from an open window about 10 feet down to the ground, its weight causing it to leave an impression from its paws about 4" deep in the muddy grass.
