Big Cats of Arizona exhibit

Caipora has a slimmer face with a row of very close spots between her eyes, looking like a unibrow. She also has a white patch of fur on her right hip. She weighs ~115 - 120 lbs.
Saban is larger with a 'recycling symbol' under his chin. He overgrooms the end of his tail seasonally, but unsure why. He weighs ~150- 155 lbs.

Caipora came from the Palm Beach Zoo in Florida. Arrive at Phx Zoo 7/1/2008
Weighs ~120 lbs
Caipora's name comes from a figure in Brazilian mythology and it means “inhabitant of the forest.”
Her favorite enrichment is the “pill,” a hard plastic oblong type of jungle ball. She will throw it around the exhibit, climb on it, and rub her face all over it.
She especially loves mink lure, which smells a bit fishy. She is a bit limited on enrichment options because she tends to puncture anything too soft.

Saban was at the Brevard Zoo and then Jacksonville Zoo before coming to Phoenix.
Weighs ~150 lbs
Saban overgrooms his tail, so it often looks bare. There is signage at the exhibit about this.
Saban was named by a donor after the former Miami Dolphins coach, Nick Saban.
Caipora is Saban's aunt. They seem to be very curious about each other, vocalizing and pacing the communal fence, but they will not be in the same enclosure. Both jaguars love to sneak up and scare their keepers. Because of this, keepers will avoid turning their backs to the cats because they tend to calm down when they know you can see them and they’ve lost the element of surprise.

Jaguars are very good eaters and never turn down any food items, but they love the more novel items like chunk meat, bones, and whole prey (like rats, quail and rabbits).
