An unusual discovery was carried out in the jungle of Guatemala by biologists who were seeking jaguars for conservation studies. Apparently, Calvin Klein Obsession for Men attracts the big cats.

Biologists Rony Garcia and Jose Moreira for the Wildlife Conservation Society, used hidden cameras to observe and record jaguars in the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala, but also they are using perfume to attract these animals.

“The method we are using to study jaguars in Guatemala is an invasive method that is based on the specimens photographed using camera traps,” Moreira said in Reuters Television.

“It was helpful to use Obsession (for Men) to attract the Jaguars off the hidden cameras (…) and this allowed us to estimate with greater certainty gender and number of animals living in each area studied,” he added.

Incredibly, the perfume acts as a magnet for the Jaguars and was discovered by an experiment in WCS Zoo in Bronx, New York.

This practice was tested in Guatemala and thanks to the fragrance it was possible to record the jaguars in the wild and even its mating rituals.

“These hidden cameras help us identify how many jaguars live in this area. They help us to have control over the population and allow us to tell the government, the public, that ‘Laguna del Tigre’ still requires conservation efforts,” said García .
