Jaguar & Her Cub Spotted on Colombian Plantation

From NatGeo DailyNews:
Jaguars currently live in isolated populations scattered across North and South America, which is part of the reason the species is listed as "near threatened" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

...

Usually, just one jaguar cub survives in a litter, so seeing two cubs alive and well is "heartwarming," he said. (Take a big cats quiz.) 
It's "important to note" that the camera traps were located on the plantation border, next to a well-preserved forest.
