Some friends make unlikely pairs. That’s certainly the case when it comes to Jag the jaguar and Bullet the Jack Russell terrier. While it may not be obvious by looking at this pair, they are the best of friends.
At first, seeing these two together is a shock.
After all, Jag is so much larger than Bullet that it’s immediately clear that Jag could eat the dog if he wanted. But once you see how much they love each other, it’s clear that this duo is inseparable.
Jag first came to South Africa as a cub. The Akwaaba Lodge, an animal sanctuary, took him in. Immediately, he and his human owner bonded. They loved each other and even slept
She found that solution in Bullet the Jack Russell.
She knew this friendly dog would hit it off right away with Jag, and she wasn’t wrong. The two became best friends almost immediately. They would play together, eat together, and even sleep together. It was clearly a match made in heaven.
Jag’s mom couldn’t be happier that he had made a friend.
However, she knew that this pairing would have to change, as well. See, Jag kept getting bigger and was finally maturing into an adult. That meant that he could no longer wander around where he was used to being. Instead, he was going to have to go into a larger enclosure. This would ensure he had enough room to roam around and wouldn’t feel trapped all the time.
The day came for Jag the jaguar to move into his new enclosure, and, unfortunately, Bullet wasn’t invited. After all, he was so small, and he really didn’t belong with the huge cat anyway. Those watching them were afraid that Jag might even hurt Bullet as he had gotten so large. Plus, jaguars aren’t domesticated, so they weren’t sure what Jag would do when they least expected it.
