Before we left the states, a friend was telling us that while explaining to his son, Luke (a friend of Sebastiao's) about where we were going and what we would be doing, his son asked if we would get to see Diego and Baby Jaguar (you know Diego, the cousin of Dora the Explorer- hes an Animal Rescuer!) Well, we were sure the Diego part wouldn't be too hard to find for Luke, but the jaguar part we were a little unsure about. But.... (Ecuador never ceases to amaze) we have found Baby Jaguar, or at least what may work. So, Luke this is for you-While visiting a local zoo, we found 2 small jaguar-like (here they are called tigereras) baby cats. In typical Ecuadorian fashion, the only thing between us and the "dangerous" animals was a chain linked fence, and being the good mother that I am, I decided to set an amazing example and began playing with the babies through the fence. They were very sweet and from my magnificent example the following photo was born. I feel a little like those parents in Canada who put honey in their kids hands so the wild bears will eat it.... but he survived, so I guess it was all worth it for the photo!
