Dear Editor,
Just a few days ago, a close relative shared an experience with me from a trip to an interior location referred to as ‘Blue Mountain’. Four of them had to make their way out on foot, and at one stop they noticed an animal the size of a jaguar, but it was black in colour.
I learnt from social media that others have also seen such an animal over the years. One person said he had spotted one on the Iwokrama Road about three years ago. Is there any expert who could perhaps write a letter about black jaguars, and indicate if they are rare, or are an endangered species?
Yours faithfully,
T Pemberton
