The Associated Press: "GEORGETOWN, Guyana — Police say a jaguar prowling the lush jungles of Guyana killed a gold and diamond miner as he fetched water from a creek.
A police statement says fellow miners found 43-year-old Kurt Rodrigues after the mauling. He died while en route to a hospital.
Rupununi Region vice chairwoman Claire Singh said Tuesday it's unusual for jaguars to attack people.
But Guyanese cattle and poultry farmers often complain that jaguars and ocelots maul their livestock."
