Government conservation officers confiscate a male jaguar from a private home in an Amazonian river town. Jaguars, Panthera onca, are poached extensively throughout Amazonia but females with cubs are highly sort commodities for the prices the offspring fetch on the black market. Originally this Jaguar was purchased from a poaching ring to be kept as a pet where it was de-clawed and had its canines removed. Before being placed in a government holding facility it had not ventured outside for it’s entire life nor had it seen another Jaguar. Iquitos, Peru
