The jaguar family lives deep in the rainforest of South
America.
The mating season was in full swing and the forest was filled with
mating calls from male jaguars seeking a mate, the month early April,
the lucky female would mate with khaan the largest of the jaguars in
that region. This happened to be kiana, the mother to be of Sheba. The
mating had taken place and Sheba was born the following march, just as
spring was coming, the day was really warm when little Sheba was born
also her brother Regarega and other sister Fiarrafiarra, the three of
them jumped and pounced on each other as this was the early way to
learn. The months passed by and the three grew at an enormous rate as
they were fed very well because the food was plentiful always giving
the three plenty of energy and they often went off together playing
with the other animals of the cat family in the forest the summer had
almost gone and the cold season was beginning, luckily the family lived
in a cave which was surrounded by dense undergrowth only Kianakiana
ventured out to find food for her three cubs who needed plenty of food
to grow as big as dad and mother jaguar the cold spell lasted three
months, which was a very cold and wet spell.
Still now the weather had improved the cubs could go out to play they
would gambol each other over yes indeed their life was full of fun But
the but the cubs knew in the forest, there were many dangers so mother
always kept her watchful eye on them as the cubs played around, months
passed which turned into years. Then came the big crunch the cubs had
grown to the extent that Kianakiana their mother said my children the
time has come for you to leave my company and begin a life of your own.
The cubs were sad to go but mother said if you are in trouble I am here
to help.
So off the three went but before they departed company they caressed
each other as they said the goodbyes. Then each went their own way.
Sheba wondered far away to the north as her instinct led her further
north she grew even larger than her mother, which she often thought of
as the sun filtered through the trees bringing shadows, and even the
birds were singing this she knew all was good, no predators about, then
stillness and silence, danger was approaching she thought I had better
hide, time went by then she heard a rustling noise Sheba lay very still
in the dense undergrowth, as she lay hunters passed within feet of her
hiding place she new if they saw her she would be killed and her fur
sold to the highest bidder the party of hunters passed the point of
where she was hiding she then gave a sigh of relief. Time to move on
after a while she came upon a river at last she thought time to drink
in fact, she thought time to eat also, she hid in the undergrowth
waiting for a deer or warthog to come to drink time went by then her
prayers were answered a small deer appeared she pounced as it passed by
her hiding place, that day she fed well and rested overnight.
The next morning Sheba was up with the sun as the rays shone through
the trees freedom was good she thought as she travelled further north,
days turned into months then one fine and sunny day she met face to
face with another jaguar which was a male.
Her life was about to change, the couple fought to see who was boss,
but Sheba knew that the male should be the boss so the fight was very
short and no one was injured they made up and walked side by side and
their friendship grew the male said that his name was
Kirani.kirani
Sheba was now full grown this was her greatest day for soon she would
have cubs of her own the couple settled down in a cave near a river
because they knew other animals would come to drink, the cold spell
came and went, then spring was in the air also the cry of young ones
the family of Sheba came into the world, a world where life was happy
as there was no hunters in this region this left the cubs to play
safely in the nearby clearing, but mother would still keep an eye on
them, then without warning a huge eagle appeared and snatched one of
the cubs then it flew away high in the sky, this left the family sad
and how lost the other two cubs, kira and Shaanshaan felt as their
sister had been taken away life would not be the same they said to each
other. The summer passed, the cubs were a little larger now as the cold
spell approached the parents huddled close together to keep warm in
their cave surrounded by dense undergrowth only going out to bring food
this would take place in turns which was good for it each other to
exercise the cubs were always hungry but both parents fed them well the
cubs would grow up in a good area and they were to large to be prey of
any eagle looking for a meal.
So life of the jaguar family settled down to a happy life together till
thecubs grew and left the family to start a life of their own. I hope
you enjoy this.
