Headline: UNCAPTIONED: 'Strikingly Beautiful' Rare Black Jaguar Arrives At Chester Zoo In Effort To Protect Threatened Species
Caption: Named Inka, the two-year-old female jaguar has moved from The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent as part of a special programme which is caring for the species across Europe. Inka was carefully selected as a fitting companion for Chester’s resident male jaguar, Napo. Described as a “strikingly beautiful, bold and confident” young jaguar, carnivore experts at the zoo say Inka’s arrival will help to put a spotlight on the “remarkable” species. Jaguars, which are native to the Americas, are listed as ‘Near Threatened’ by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with scientists believing they may become vulnerable to extinction in the near future.
