In a heartwarming update from Chester Zoo, a 16-year-old jaguar named Bonita and her son Remi, who’s 11, are making a memorable transition to their new retirement home. After having lived together side by side since Remi’s birth, these two have faced their share of challenges, including Remi’s battle with a serious cancer diagnosis. The staff at the zoo worked tirelessly with conservation experts to ensure this move wouldn’t just be safe but also comfortable for our feline friends.
Bonita and Remi’s story is more than just a tale of relocation; it represents the dedication of wildlife professionals committed to the care of aging animals. Dave Hall, the Team Manager of Carnivores at Chester Zoo, emphasized the importance of keeping this devoted mother-son duo together during their golden years. As they explore their new habitat, it’s a reminder to us all that retirement can be just as adventurous as life on the wild side—if you’re a jaguar, of course! Who wouldn’t want to prowl around in style after all that hard work?
