The Jaguar is one of the most important and representative species that inhabit Mexico, since it is the largest feline in the American continent and one of the most beautiful and charismatic felines that inhabit our jungles.

The Jaguar has been revered by our ancestors for thousands of years since it has been a very important species for the diverse cultures that developed in Mesoamerica such as the Mayas, the Aztecs and the Olmecs.
