Introducing jaguars to areas already inhabited by mountain lions would likely cause mountain lions to experience increased competition or pressure rather than causing an overall increase in predation.

“I think the mountain lions would would pay the price. >> Oh >> yeah. Like if you if you introduce second species, you don't all of a sudden double your big cat population.”

The effort to establish a corridor for jaguars spanning 5,000 miles is a revolutionary and worthwhile goal for preserving the species.

“mostly I focus, you know, on the jaguar just because it was so kind of, you know, revolutionary. The notion of the jaguar corridor, you know, that swath of land, you know, five 5,000 5,000 miles just hadn't been attempted before for one species.”
