Wildlife

After residents reported a puma loose in Ojojona, Francisco Morazán, that has killed livestock, municipal authorities coordinated with the fire department and national police to track and contain the animal in the rural Cenicera and Surcos de Caña areas.

Firefighters safely removed a 1.5-meter boa constrictor discovered beneath a parked vehicle near Puente Germania in south Tegucigalpa and relocated it to a safe location away from populated areas.

Thousands of Eunica monima butterflies have swarmed Tegucigalpa and other parts of Honduras in an unusually intense annual migration that specialists link to climate shifts and accelerated breeding favored by heat waves followed by brief rains.
