A beloved jaguar named Maya, the ABQ BioPark’s only jaguar, passed away at age 20 — longer than the average jaguar lifespan — after a lifetime of exceptional care. Euthanized humanely due to age-related decline, Maya lived at the zoo since 2014 and was celebrated for her 20th birthday last fall. Her dedicated caregivers ensured her comfort and mental stimulation in her later years, reflecting the zoo’s deep commitment to animal welfare. Maya’s life also underscores the urgent need for jaguar conservation, as wild populations are classified as “near threatened.” Her passing is a poignant reminder of the bond between humans and wildlife — and the vital role zoos play in their preservation.
