Sinaloa
Current Range
Historic Range ( ca . 1900 )
Jaguars historically roamed diverse environments in Mexico , from Sonora to the Yucatan Peninsula . Today , they inhabit areas with intact vegetation cover in the Pacific and Gulf lowlands , Sierra Madre foothills , and the Yucatan .
Recognizing the multiple threats that Jaguars face , the Mexican government prohibited Jaguar trophy hunting in 1987 and listed it as an endangered species in 1994 . Today fewer than 200 Sonoran Jaguars remain . jaguar on the river bank | giedriius
