Kaluanã and Nannacay were first seen together by the Iguaçu Jaguars Project

Monitoring equipment from the Iguaçu Jaguars Project captured the male Kaluanã and the female Nannacay together for the first time in the Jaguar's Den area, located within Iguaçu National Park, Brazil. The record sparked anticipation among researchers about the possibility of cub births.

The encounter between the two jaguars was recorded by cameras installed at the Jaguar's 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 near each other, and stay together for several days before parting ways again.

The meeting of Kaluanã and Nannacay generated special excitement among those following the work: the possibility that the pair could contribute to the birth of new cubs in the area. The Iguaçu Jaguars Project continues to monitor these animals through the installed cameras.
