A mother jaguar and her adorable cub have been spotted in the wilds of Argentina for the first time in decades – in what conservationists are hailing as a huge leap forward for one of South America's most threatened big cats.
Local nature guides Darío Soraire and Pablo Luna were boating down the Bermejo River on July 30th when they came across the extraordinary sight: a female jaguar and her tiny cub lounging on the riverbank in El Impenetrable National Park, Chaco Province.
Stunning photographs show the young cub, believed to be around five months old, nestled by its mother, Nalá – a jaguar born in captivity and released into the wild just last year by conservation group Rewilding Argentina.
The sighting marks a pivotal moment in efforts to reintroduce jaguars to the region, where female jaguars had not been seen since 1990. It’s a sign that the ambitious programme to restore Argentina’s top predator is finally bearing fruit.
Nalá is part of a breeding initiative launched in 2019 after a lone male jaguar, named Qaramta, was tracked and collared in the park. With no females in the area, Qaramta faced a genetic dead end – until captive-bred females were introduced from the Jaguar Reintroduction Center in Iberá Park.
Nalá was one of the first to be born through this programme and was released into the wild in August 2024. Her cub is now living proof that the jaguar might once again roam freely in this remote and rugged landscape.
Sebastián Di Martino, Conservation Director of Rewilding Argentina, explained just how high the stakes are: “Wild jaguars are holding out in isolated pockets of Northern Argentina, but they need genetic diversity and connectivity to thrive. Creating a breeding population not only brings us one step closer to the jaguar’s recovery, it offers the blueprint to extending their comeback throughout the Gran C *** Local

Einer von 19: Ein seltener Ferrari F40 LM steht für einen Schätzwert von acht Mio Euro zur Versteigerung an
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
A rare Ferrari F40 LM, one of just 19 competition-specification models ever built, has emerged from private ownership and could sell for north of $9.5 million (£7 million).
Originally launched in July 1987, the standard Ferrari F40 was a revelation - its twin-turbocharged V8 produced 478 horsepower, wrapped in a lightweight carbon-kevlar body that pushed the limits of engineering and design. But it didn’t take long for enthusiasts and racing insiders to speculate on the car’s track potential.
That speculation led Daniel Marin, then managing director of France’s Ferrari importer Charles Pozzi SA, to commission racing specialist Giuliano Michelotto to develop a motorsport-ready version. Ferrari gave its blessing to the project, resulting in the creation of 19 F40 LM (Le Mans) models—stripped-down, uprated machines designed to compete under IMSA and FIA regulations.
The F40 LM’s modifications were extensive: upgraded turbos, a revised fuel system, improved cooling, and larger Behr intercoolers lifted power output to 720 horsepower. Chassis changes included Brembo brakes, wider wheels, race suspension, and a comprehensive aerodynamic package—featuring a larger front splitter, underbody venturi, and a towering adjustable rear wing.
For FIA GT competition, a GTC version went even further, producing up to 760 horsepower—nearly 300 more than the original F40. Michelotto had transformed a fearsome road car into a track-dominating thoroughbred.
Chassis number 95448, the fourteenth F40 LM built, is a GTC-specification example. Finished in Rosso Corsa with lightweight Lexan sliding windows and Stoffa Vigogna seat upholstery, it was delivered in early 1993 to Swiss collector Walter Hagmann. Following a minor testing accident at Mugello Circuit that same year, the car was quickly repaired and featured in Auto Illustrierte magazine.

Finished in Rosso Corsa with lightweight Lexan sliding windows and Stoffa Vigogna seat upholstery, it was delivered in early 1993 to Swiss collector Walter Hagmann. Following a minor testing accident at Mugello Circuit that same year, the car was quickly repaired and featured in Auto Illustrierte magazine.
Over the decades, the car has passed through a handful of respected European collectors, participated in *** Loc

A conservation group in New South Wales is celebrating a bumper baby boom — and it's all thanks to turtles.
Aussie Ark, based at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby, has pulled off its most successful breeding season ever, hatching a record-breaking 172 endangered freshwater turtles. It’s the first time all three species in the charity’s care — the Hunter River, Bells, and Manning River turtles — have laid and hatched eggs in the same season.
In what experts are calling a “nationally significant” milestone, dozens of baby turtles have emerged from their eggs under the watchful eye of staff, who couldn’t be more thrilled.
“The egg tally this season is so EGG-citing!” Conservation Ark Operations Manager Billy Collett said. “48 Hunter River Turtle eggs, 39 Bells Turtle eggs and a whopping 85 Manning River Turtle eggs. That’s double the eggs from last season.”
The hatchlings are being raised in a state-of-the-art facility, complete with specially designed nesting platforms and sandboxes that mimic their natural environment. The climate-controlled aquaria have proven to be a haven for the reptiles, whose wild counterparts face increasing threats from predators like foxes, pigs and feral cats.
“Out in the wild, these poor turtles don’t stand a chance,” said Collett. “Predators dig up nests and eat the eggs before they even get a shot at life. We’re giving them that shot.”
Once strong enough, the baby turtles will be released back into the wild rivers they call home — a crucial move for the survival of these rare and remarkable Aussie species.
The conservation win comes as native turtle populations continue to plummet across the country due to habitat destruction, introduced species, and trampling by cattle.
“This work we’re doing at Conservation Ark is absolutely critical for the survival of these species,” Mr Collett said. “We will *** Local Caption *** 47138421

Rekordverdächtige Brutsaison: Die Naturschutzgruppe Aussie Ark im australischen Gosford begrüsst insgesamt 172 gefährdete Babyschildkröten

**VIDEO AVAILABLE. CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE.**
A conservation group in New South Wales is celebrating a bumper baby boom — and it's all thanks to turtles.
Aussie Ark, based at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby, has pulled off its most successful breeding season ever, hatching a record-breaking 172 endangered freshwater turtles. It’s the first time all three species in the charity’s care — the Hunter River, Bells, and Manning River turtles — have laid and hatched eggs in the same season.
In what experts are calling a “nationally significant” milestone, dozens of baby turtles have emerged from their eggs under the watchful eye of staff, who couldn’t be more thrilled.
“The egg tally this season is so EGG-citing!” Conservation Ark Operations Manager Billy Collett said. “48 Hunter River Turtle eggs, 39 Bells Turtle eggs and a whopping 85 Manning River Turtle eggs. That’s double the eggs from last season.”
The hatchlings are being raised in a state-of-the-art facility, complete with specially designed nesting platforms and sandboxes that mimic their natural environment. The climate-controlled aquaria have proven to be a haven for the reptiles, whose wild counterparts face increasing threats from predators like foxes, pigs and feral cats.

Ten endangered Eastern Quolls have successfully passed health checks in preparation for their release back into the wild.
The conservation group Aussie Ark led the health assessments ahead of an upcoming ‘wild’ release on the NSW south coast. In partnership with the University of Sydney and Sydney Zoo, Aussie Ark plans to release 15 Eastern Quolls into Bannockburn, a 68-hectare feral-proof site near Nowra. This area was designed to replicate the 400-hectare Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary, known as ‘the Ark,’ which serves as a stronghold for numerous endangered species.
This marks the first time Eastern Quolls will be released at Bannockburn - a significant conservation milestone for a species that is extinct on mainland Australia. Intensive post-release monitoring, including VHF radio transmitters, camera traps, and cage trapping, will track how the quolls adapt and interact with their new environment.
The ten quolls from Aussie Ark - six females and four males - were born and raised at the sanctuary, giving them valuable survival skills for life in the wild. Yet, every precaution has been taken to ensure their readiness.
Before their release, Aussie Ark Operations Manager Dean Reid and Somersby Animal Hospital Head Vet Dr Robin Crisman performed detailed health checks on the quolls, assessing their teeth, weight, and overall condition, and confirming that the females had inactive pouches. All ten quolls passed with flying colours and are now ready for their new home.
“I feel so lucky and blessed to be able to handle these animals and work with them,” said Dr Crisman. “There are a lot of people who don’t even know what an Eastern Quoll is! And to be involved with this project with Aussie Ark, and have the ability to help repopulate an endangered species, is phenomenal.”
Soon, the ten quolls will join five more bred at Sydney Zoo at Bannockburn. The site is part of the SE NSW Eastern Quoll hub, a network of sanctuaries dedicated to a genetic metap *** Local

SCHICKSALE - Sucht nach einer OP-Finanzierung: Amy Stewart leidet an der sehr seltenen und angeborenen Kleidokranialen Dysplasie
Matthew proposed to Amy in December 2020 (PA Real Life) *** Bride-to-be with agonising "one in a million" condition meaning she was born
with no collarbone needs private surgery to walk down the aisle pain free
By Jack Clover, PA Real Life
A bride-to-be with a "one in a million" condition that saw her born with no collarbone and
whose spine is agonisingly twisted like the letter C - making it impossible to carry a child - is
desperate for private surgery so she can walk down the aisle pain free and start a family.
Born with cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD) - a birth defect affecting teeth and bones present in
one in every million people, according to medical experts, Amy Stewart, 27, has been in
agony since falling down some stairs and fracturing her spine in August 2020.
Diagnosed with CCD after being born with a wide forehead, an open skull at the top, no
collarbone and three rows of teeth, she flourished despite countless operations and being
bullied at school - landing a job with the emergency services and falling in love.
But Amy, of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, now fears that unless she can raise £38,000
towards private treatment, she will still be in agony when she marries her fiancé, Matthew
Woollard, 38, a fellow emergency services worker, on 1 June, 2023, and that they will never
be able to have children.
Also suffering with kyphoscoliosis - a spine that curves to the side and forwards or
backwards at the same time - she said: "My spine is much weaker than most people, so when
I fell down a flight of stairs not only did I fracture it, but my kyphoscoliosis has deteriorated
rapidly, reducing my quality of life significantly."
Seeking private help when her NHS doctors did not see surgery on her spine as an option,
according to Amy, she was offered a lifeline by a private specialist who can perform a spinal
fusion as soon as January 2022 - making the prohibitive factor the cost of around £40,000 for
surgery and aftercare.

whose spine is agonisingly twisted like the letter C - making it impossible to carry a child - is
desperate for private surgery so she can walk down the aisle pain free and start a family.
Born with cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD) - a birth defect affecting teeth and bones present in
one in every million people, according to medical experts, Amy Stewart, 27, has been in
agony since falling down some stairs and fracturing her spine in August 2020.
Diagnosed with CCD after being born with a wide forehead, an open skull at the top, no
collarbone and three rows of teeth, she flourished despite countless operations and being
bullied at school - landing a job with the emergency services and falling in love.
But Amy, of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, now fears that unless she can raise £38,000
towards private treatment, she will still be in agony when she marries her fiancé, Matthew
Woollard, 38, a fellow emergency services worker, on 1 June, 2023, and that they will never
be able to have children.
Also suffering with kyphoscoliosis - a spine that curves to the side and forwards or
backwards at the same time - she said: "My spine is much weaker than most people, so when
I fell down a flight of stairs not only did I fracture it, but my kyphoscoliosis has deteriorated
rapidly, reducing my quality of life significantly."
Seeking private help when her NHS doctors did not see surgery on her spine as an option,
according to Amy, she was offered a lifeline by a private specialist who can perform a spinal
fusion as soon as January 2022 - making the prohibitive factor the cost of around £40,000 for
surgery and aftercare.
