## Trivia

* Baby Jaguar appeared on many episodes of *Go, Diego, Go!*.
* Baby Jaguar is *Go, Diego, Go!*'s equivalent of Boots because he is usually Diego's best friend like Boots is Dora's best friend.
* He is the only forest friend character to physically age in the *Dora and Friends: Into the City!.* All of the other forest friends remain the same design in the original series.
* Baby Jaguar did not talk during Seasons 3 and 4 on *Dora the Explorer* (all he does is meows and sometimes roars), but did on *Go, Diego, Go!* and later episodes of *Dora the Explorer*. However, he technically first spoke on *Dora the Explorer* in Dora's World Adventure!.
* Baby Jaguar appeared in the *Dora and Friends: Into the City* episode "For the Birds". In this episode, he's grown into an adolescent jaguar and is now called Jaguar instead of "Baby" Jaguar because he is not young anymore.
* For some odd reason in "For the Birds" Jaguar's tail is white on the end. Unlike the original series, the tip of his tail was brown.
* Koda Gursoy, who did the voice of Boots from *Dora the Explorer* in Season 8, also voices this character in *Dora and Friends: Into the City!*.
* Rescue, Rescue, Rescue is the only episode where he appears without Diego.
* In Boots' Special Day, Baby Jaguar did not appear in person, but he did appear in the picture map.
* He never appeared in any Season 1-2 episodes (excluding the intro of Whose Birthday is It?).
* Although Baby Jaguar is completely absent in *Dora and the Lost City of Gold*, a stuffed jaguar plush appears as a homage to him.
* In ABC Animals, there was a jaguar that resembles him. It is possible that he is part of his family.
* His first voice actor, Thomas Sharkey, also does the singing voice of Austin from the Nickelodeon show, *The Backyardigans* and Shovel from season 6 of *Blue's Clues.*
