Mother Jaguar and Cubs

Mongabay.com’s Picture of the Day is from Bolivia.

This jaguar mother was photographed with her two cubs in the Kaa Iya National Park in Bolivia.

“Kaaiyana’s tolerance of observers is a testimony to the absence of hunters in this area, and her success as a mother means there is plenty of food for her and her cubs to eat,” said John Polisar, coordinator of Wildlife Conservation Society’s (WCS) Jaguar Conservation Program. WCS released the photos.
