A black female jaguar cub was born at England’s Big Cat Sanctuary on April 6, making headlines due to the rarity of black fur among jaguars, comprising just 10 percent of the population.

While the cub’s mother, Keira, displays typical color characteristics, the distinctive black coloration is inherited from the cub’s father, Nero.

The cub, currently called “Baby,” is undergoing a fundraising vote to determine her official name, with options including Inka, Into, or Killari.

Individuals can provide input by donating £5 ($7), with 25 percent of proceeds going towards jaguar conservation in Costa Rica.

Curator Bryony Smith expressed excitement over the cub’s arrival, highlighting the extensive monitoring of Keira leading up to the birth.

The cub, born at 11:10 in the morning, has been progressing rapidly in development, consistent with jaguar norms.

The birth is part of the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme, emphasizing the importance of sustaining jaguar populations in captivity to counteract threats faced by the species in the wild.

As the cub grows and exhibits a lively personality, sanctuary staff anticipate her readiness to explore her outdoor habitat when the sanctuary opens to the public in August.
