Neron came to the Sanctuary as part of the breeding programme for jaguars. He was about 18 months old on arrival. On arrival he was shy and it took a few weeks for him to come out of his shell, but we realised very quickly that he was a gentle natured boy. Just over a year later he was joined by Keira, his breeding partner.
It was virtually love at first sight, the couple were inseparable. They cuddled and groomed each other every single day, it wasn’t long before we knew we would be welcoming the pitter-patter of little paws. And just like that Neron became a dad as his daughter Inka was born. He is now back sharing an enclosure with Keira and is in his happy place. We couldn’t be prouder of our outstandingly handsome jaguar, he is a chatty boy loved by all who meet him.
