RORAIMA, BRAZIL - A jaguar cub was rescued on Tuesday (3) from a rural property in Caroebe, a municipality in the interior of Roraima state, Brazil.
According to the Military Police, which coordinated the rescue, the animal appeared frightened, debilitated, and showed visible signs of malnutrition.
The cub was initially found and contained by a 43-year-old farmer, who reported that the young jaguar had been cornered by the property’s dogs.
He decided to intervene, bringing the cub into one of the rooms in his home before contacting the authorities.
This marks the second jaguar cub to be rescued in Caroebe within the past four months.
The animal was later transferred to the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center (Cetas), operated by the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama), in the state capital, Boa Vista.
The transfer was carried out using a specialized containment cage.
