Jaguar Sisters Celebrate Birthday At Turtle Back Zoo In Essex County

Happy birthday, Maya and Rosa.

On Tuesday, the Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange celebrated the birthdays of its two jaguar sisters.

The zoo acquired the two jaguars – which hail from the North American region and are an endangered species – as one-year-olds in 2011 when it opened its Big Cat Country exhibit.
