Scientists say this birth is a big deal for the species: the last estimate placed the population at 200 in Argentina. Since 2011, the program has been working to breed jaguars and reintroduce them to the wild. The cubs must feed themselves and hone their hunting skills before they're released. Then, they'll ber part of their species' iconic presence in the region.
