The video was shared by the Ministry of the Environment, Biodiversity, Climate Change and Energy (Semabice), in the BalamKi and BalamKu state reserves.
In the images, the two animals are seen on a rock in the middle of the second largest jungle reserve, after the Amazon, very close to the cameras, interacting with each other and very passive.

According to the second National Jaguar Census, carried out in 2018, there are 4,800 wild specimens in Mexico. In the region of Gran Calakmul (Calakmul, Balam Kú, Balam Kin) and Laguna de Términos, there are up to 600 jaguars.
Reserve “Gran Calakmul”
The Secretary of the Environment (SEMARNAT), María Luisa Albores, presented the “Gran Calakmul” region, which will have a total of 1.5 million hectares and will be the second largest terrestrial tropical forest reserve in the world after the Amazon, in Brazil.
She explained that with the Sembrando Vida reforestation program, the Natural Protected Areas and the conservation areas decreed from the initiative of this train, from 2019 to 2030 it is estimated that there will be a mitigation in the area of 33.07 million tons of dioxide carbon.
She added that the new natural protected areas around the project are the Mayan Train Biological Corridor, Nueva Uxmal, the Puerto Morelos Mangrove and the El Jaguar protected natural area.
