“You never know what might pass by in the jungle. This morning it was a jaguar,” wrote Moghari in his Instagram post sharing the footage. “She walked out to the edge of a cliff at sunrise and sat for a moment, watching the light spill over the coastline, almost as if she was enjoying the view the same way we do. Then she disappeared back into the jungle. A quiet reminder that we share this wild place with incredible neighbors.”
