Jaguars once roamed from Mexico to Argentina, but now are rare in the United States. Naturalla, a Mexico City nonprofit, bought the ranch 120 miles south of Arizona. Three to five jaguars typically can be found on the ranch at any one time.

Spittle bug takes lead as top insect jumper
British researchers report the spittle bug leaps over two feet, more than twice the flea’s height, matching a man jumping over the Gateway Arch. Zoologist Malcolm Burrows used high speed video to study how energy in the hind legs powers the jump, with findings in Nature. The study notes the bug’s size and weight, its forelegs and dragging hind legs, and the extreme accelerations involved in liftoff. The bug is widespread worldwide, common from the Pacific Coast to east of the Mississippi.
