As we head into the weekend, we want to give a special spotlight to the mother of the magnificent cub, Solana: the beautiful Philly!

Philly's intense gaze and gorgeous coat are on full display. Every rosette, every detail of her face, speaks to the power and majesty of the wild.

Philly is an incredible mother, fiercely protective and nurturing to Solana. She is the foundation of our growing jaguar family and a vital part of the global effort to protect her species.

Happy Thursday! We're giving you a heartwarming peek into the family dynamics of our magnificent jaguars, Bebu, Philly, and Solana.

As is natural for jaguar family life, Bebu is currently separated from Philly and young Solana while the cub is still little. But that doesn't stop them from checking in on Dad!

Here, you can see Solana pausing her play to gaze through the barrier at her father, Bebu. And in another shot, Mom Philly joins her, both of them keeping a watchful eye on Bebu.
