Jaguars are the largest cats in the Americas and one of the most elusive big cats in the world. With their powerful build, stunning rosette-patterned coats, and crucial role as apex predators, jaguars are vital to the health of their ecosystems. Unfortunately, habitat loss and poaching are pushing these majestic creatures toward endangerment.

Join us on November 29th for International Jaguar Day and learn more about jaguar conservation efforts and the challenges they face in the wild.

Did you know that jaguars have the strongest bite force of any big cat, able to crush the skulls of their prey? Or that jaguars are skilled swimmers and often hunt in water, preying on fish, turtles, and even caimans? Come discover these fascinating facts and more during special keeper talks, interactive activities, and the chance to see our resident jaguars up close.

All activities are included with regular admission—don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate jaguars and support the conservation efforts to protect these incredible big cats!
