We've heard reports of two Jaguars being spotted near the Portofino. Can anyone confirm if its true?

Possibly the 4 wheel drive model.

I heard that too, from the people who live there. Can't confirm, as I didn't see them. But it might explain why there are no longer raccoons digging through our garbage cans and ruining screens. ????

Smaller cat species, yes. A jaguar? Not enough territory or space for one, let alone two, unles they were recently deposited there.

I have also heard about jaguar sightings. One of our workers (who is from mainland and swears he can tell the difference between jaguar and other cats) said he saw a young one in the Mata Grande area last year (where Kathy notes the sudden lack of raccoons) - me, I think we have a big cat or two.

i agree. have heard of sightings

I've seen em'

Farther north you'll find wild pigs, deer and all kinds of wild life. The island opens up around Basil Jones.

Jaguar shoes for sale

Sets of four.

The jaguar at Mata Grande is a fairly good sized male ozelot. I have seen him around our house this year and last year. Beautiful! Too bad they are about to completely and brutally clear approx. 20 acres towards the lagoon at Mata Grande. No more ozelot here after that for sure

Who's going to be wearing all these shoes? Next there will be cruise ships stoping to buy shoes to take home.

We also heard of sightings at Portofino....just last week or so.

As best I can recall, wen the Belize Zoo did a comprehensive scat collection on the northern portion of Ambergris they found a few species of smaller cats. Contact them for the full list. Jaguars require more territory and food than Ambergris offers. But hey, I could be wrong, ask the Zoo. Or Merv.

Rumour has it... there's a club on the island.

TQ, I think I saw one by the Alliance bank last time I was there.

Weile,
Who is clearing? Where? For what purpose? E-mail me if you wish. Thanks.

Brutaly cleared is the right term, they left almost nothing standing. Doesn't make much sense.

There's plenty of natural pry for a Jaguar on N.A. Lots of caye deer, wild pigs.

Here kitty kitty....
By far the most stunning animal of Belize.

Ok...where is Mata Grande...

C.U.: I don't know what you're talking about. It hasn't been cleared yet.

Axe: It is approx. 4.5 to 5 miles north of town.

KC: The bush behind us, from just south of Caye Villas to somewhere between Mata Grande Studios and Rojo, starting 600 feet from the beach and going all the way to the lagoon. Has been subdivided into approx. 100 x 130 lots, that the owner maybe thinks will sell faster if they look like a desert. The good news is that things grow so fast up here that they will get back to normal long before they are sold... and don't worry, the "old" Mata Grande remains one of the most gorgeous spots on the island with lush vegetation, lots of flowers and beautiful beaches (where they are kept clean).
