What information would have been learned from Macho B if he had lived?
A. Biologists hoped to learn how Macho B moved through the borderlands of Arizona, including where, when and how often he crossed the international border. To date, biologists have sporadic photographs of individual jaguars, but these are like dots on a map. Biologists hoped to connect the dots and answer questions like: do the jaguars documented in Arizona travel widely in Mexico, how, where and when they forage for prey, do they return to Mexico for breeding, etc.
