Why was Macho B captured?
A. Macho B was inadvertently caught in a foothold snare intended for capturing black bears and mountain lions as part of a research study that had been ongoing in the area for more than a year. The capture location was outside of the area where the last known jaguar photograph was taken, in January 2009. Three lions and two bears were known to occupy the rugged canyon where Macho B was captured.
