Jaguar Maya steps out with Stuart man’s name
Monday, January 5th, 2009 by Holly BaltzPalm Beach Zoo’s littlest jaguar stepped out to greet her first official crowd Monday morning… and then she stepped back.
They teased her out again, plopping her on a log as dozens snapped away with cameras… and she scurried back.
Lured with leafy branches. Hasty retreat to the pen door.
Only when Maya - that’s her new name suggested by a Stuart man and chosen by popular vote - only when Maya’s mother joined her did she venture out to a chorus of “Awww’s,” followed by a series of “Shush’s.” No one wanted the little girl to get spooked.
