Cinco' the jaguar spotted again in Southern Arizona's Sky Islands

Cinco the jaguar was captured on camera again in southern Arizona, marking seven months since his last confirmed sighting and continuing a notable streak of recent appearances. The Wild Cat Research and Conservation Center says Cinco continues to appear along the mountain-connected corridors known as the Sky Islands east of Tucson, aiding researchers in mapping habitat use. The center has tracked jaguars in the region for more than 15 years, and these cats still roam Arizona, contributing to a growing, data-backed picture of their status. Residents and researchers say ongoing camera monitoring highlights the possibility that jaguars can thrive in this landscape, provided habitat connectivity and prey base are maintained.
