This was taken Sycamore Canyon near Mount Lemmon in Tucson, Arizona. He was standing on the road when I drove around the corner. I was not prepaired... by the time I stopped the car,turned on my camera he had jumped up a cliff with ease then hid behind the tree to see what I was doing. Im glad he stopped for that moment to let me shoot him. I then thought it would be best to get back in my truck since they do travel in pairs.

This photo was submitted to Arizona Game and Fish in a attempt to verify if was a Jaguar or Mountain Lion. The conclusion was (3) votes for Mountain Lion (3) votes for Jaguar and (1) undecided. The head is shaped more like a Jaguar the white around the muzzle could be either. The molting could be a Mountain Lion or could be the colors of a Jaguar. The best part of this picture is I never saw the cat when I took the shot I was trying out a new zoom lens on a cave at 75 yards. When I got home and enlarged it I saw the cat. I have the original shot below not enlarged so you can see my view. This photo was taken in Southern Arizona and due to poaching these animals I can't disclose the location. If you have legitimate reason for wanting to know where this was please send me a e-mail and explain your interest and I will consider it. steve@arivacawildlife.com

This is the original shot of the cave in the previous photo. The cat is in the horizontal area on the top right quadrant above.
