Kaluanã and Nannacay were spotted together for the first time by the Iguaçu Jaguar Project
Monitoring equipment of the Iguaçu Jaguar Project captured the male Kaluanã and the female Nannacay together for the first time in the Jaguar Den area, located within Iguaçu National Park, Brazil. The record raised expectations among researchers about the possibility of cub births.
The encounter between the two jaguars was recorded by cameras installed at the Jaguar Den, a monitoring area of the project. Kaluanã has been tracked since 2020 and has been seen with different females over the years. Nannacay first appeared in the records in 2024, but had never been seen alongside a partner until now.
Jaguars are predominantly solitary animals. Males and females live independently and come together mainly during the breeding season, when they may walk side by side, rest close to each other, and stay together for several days before going their separate ways again.
The meeting of Kaluanã and Nannacay generated special anticipation among those following the work: the possibility that the pair could contribute to the birth of new cubs in the area. The Iguaçu Jaguar Project continues to monitor the lives of these animals through the installed cameras.
