"El Jefe," Spanish for "the boss," is the only known wild jaguar in the United States. In the first publicly released video of the giant cat, he's seen roaming the Santa Rita Mountains in Arizona, where he has been living for more than three years. Jaguars at one time roamed the U.S. Southwest, but they disappeared 150 years ago because of habitat loss and hunters. Additional reporting by The Associated Press
