Junior Buddy's 10th Birthday Bash | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Happy birthday, Junior Buddy!  They had a celebration at the Belize Zoo for the occasion.  Here's to many more!

 

"BIRTHDAY BASH FOR JUNIOR BUDDY! Belize's most famous jaguar and "national treasure," Junior Buddy, hit the big 1-0 last week! Over 100 guests joined us to celebrate this very special decade of jaguar conservation in grand fashion.  Our VIP guests included Junior's longtime friends from St. Agnes Anglican School down the road, as well as our "jaguar expert" colleagues from around Belize.


After a review of some cool feline facts about jaguars, everyone joined TBZ Director Sharon in a rousing rendition of the Junior Buddy Song, complete with "dancing jaguars" in the crowd.  The Birthday Boy was eager to receive his birthday bone, quickly diving into his pond the moment it was tossed in. Junior wowed his fans with his speed and agility (still young at heart!), then triumphantly chomped on his prize for all to see."
