The SKY ISLANDS of Arizona, New Mexico and adjacent Mexico are hot spots of biodiversity. The 2 rarest
mammals in the United States live here, the Jaguar and the Ocelot (see photos of an ARIZONA JAGUAR &
OCELOT BELOW). At this time, there is only one Jaguar alive in the United States and it lives in the
Santa Rita Mountains, a beautiful Sky Island south of Tucson, AZ. Click here to see
"El Jeffe" YOUR Arizona Jaguar. The Sky Islands represent the last
refuges for these critically endangered wild creatures in the US.
