Despite a difficult and questionable background as a victim of the illegal animal trade rescued from somebody's garage, Chiquita is a lovely trusting cat with a calm temperament and a loving, playful nature. She shows no aggression towards her keepers, and (as with her adjacent Jaguar buddy Tequila) her face lights up in something almost like a smile when she runs to greet you.
Chiquita is the more cautious of our jaguars, being graceful and guarded in everything she does and wary of any new objects in her enclosure. Once new enrichment items have been thoroughly checked out, however, Chiquita will attack with gusto, and among her favourites is a suspended feeder log that can be loaded with meat treats. She is able to hang from this with all legs off the ground, displaying her climbing abilities as well as her fantastically powerful claws and jaws.
