Hey, I'm Janice Patelis.

And I'm Jordan Bud.

Jordan and I have spent our lives in the outdoors, both as hunters and professional guys.

And on Meet Eaters newest podcast, Gear Talk, we're taking the ultimate deep dive into the tools and gear we rely on in the field,

seeing the natural season.

We're talking classic, don't leave home without it,

staples, to the cutting edge and outdoor equipment.

Listen to Gear Talk on the iHeart radio app on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

And so this is what this animal like.

On this episode of the Bear Geese podcast, we'll journey into the realm of the most mysterious and rarest of beasts in the United States.

Like a ghost, sometimes he's here and sometimes he isn't.

We'll talk with a man who documented the first live one in the United States and see how it uprooted the conservation world

and how the story rose to prominence in national media.

You might recognize his voice when you hear him.

We'll do a classic Bear Geese nerd out with Arizona biologist Jim Heffelfinger to understand how this animal makes a living

and we'll meet yet another legendary man of the Southwest.

Though he's been gone for over 30 years, you'll hear his voice and receive an impartation from his passion.

What we're talking about is Pantera Anca, the eater of us, the Borderlands Jaguar.

I doubt you're going to want to miss this one.

But before we start, I've got a question for you.

Before this intro, would you have known that there are Jaguars in the United States?

Well, the answer is kind of complicated.
