Diego uses Click can find Baby Jaguar. Diego tells the viewer to say "Click!" Click zooms through the forest and listen for Baby Jaguar's mreow mreow. There's an animal behind that bush saying, "Quack quack" but that's not Baby Jaguar, that's a duck. There's an animal behind that lily pad saying, "Ribbit ribbit" but that's not Baby Jaguar, that's a frog. There's an animal behind those trees saying, "Squawk squawk" but that's not Baby Jaguar, that's a scarlet macaw.

It's Mama Jaguar! Jaguars are one of the strongest animals in the rainforest. Diego tells the viewer to push the tree off of Rescue Pack. Diego and Mama Jaguar put their hands out in front of them and push the tree. Rescue Pack is free and tells Mama Jaguar thanks for pushing the tree off him. Diego puts Rescue Pack back in his back and he follows Mama Jaguar but he didn't see her. Jaguars are orange with black spots. Diego sees an animal that's orange with black spots but that's not Mama Jaguar, that's a butterfly. Then, he sees more things that are orange and black but those are flowers. Then, he sees another animal that is orange with black stripes behind the leaves but that's a bird. Then he finally found Mama Jaguar behind the bush. Mama Jaguar jumps out of the bush. Then, Diego gets a call from Alicia on his video watch. Alicia tells him and Mama Jaguar that Baby Jaguar is moving on Jaguar Mountain but rocks are sliding down on him.

Diego and Mama Jaguar gotta help him. Baby Jaguar's gotta jump over the rocks. Diego tells the viewer to help Baby Jaguar to sing the Spanish word, "Salta."

Alicia tells them good luck at Jaguar Mountain. Diego and Mama Jaguar jumped over a tree and over the rocks. When they got to the bridge, someone broke it and made it all bouncy. Diego and Mama Jaguar heard the Bobo Brothers. Those spider monkeys are always causing trouble. The Bobo Brothers are making the bridge all bouncy. Diego tells the viewer to stop the Bobos by saying, "Freeze, Bobos!" The Bobos have stopped swinging and landed on a branch. Diego and Mama Jaguar have got to get over the bridge but it's so far. Mama Jaguar tells Diego to hop on her back to jump across. Diego tells the viewer to sing the Spanish word, "Salta" to jump across. Then, Diego another call from Alicia on his video watch. Alicia tells him that Baby Jaguar's trying to get up the mountain, but turkey vultures won't get out of his way. Mama Jaguar tells Diego that turkey vultures are afraid of a jaguar's growl. If Diego and Mama Jaguar both growl with Baby Jaguar, then the turkey vultures will fly away. Diego tells the viewer to help Baby Jaguar growl so the turkey vultures will fly away.

Baby Jaguar growls at the turkey vultures and they flew away and he's starting to climb again. Diego and Mama Jaguar saw three mountains shaped like animals.

Baby Jaguar is almost at the top. The jaguar head is really high so Baby Jaguar tells the viewer to jaguar jump with him. Baby Jaguar puts his hands in the air and jump, jump, jump and he's at the top. Diego and Mama Jaguar climbed to the top of Jaguar Mountain too. Diego hugs Baby Jaguar that he did it.

## Goofs

* When the wind blows Rescue Pack away from Diego, his strap is broken, but when he gets stuck under the tree and Diego and Mama Jaguar help him, his strap is not broken. And when the tree almost fell on Diego and when he jumped over it, he had Rescue Pack on his back. However, it would be possible that they need sticky tape to fix Rescue Pack's strap like his cousin Dora did to fix Backpack's strap in Sticky Tape.
* It is unknown how a Dora's Pirate Adventure photo appeared if Glowy appears in the photo, but not the actual episode (Hero Star was in the episode instead), Diego's outfit is different compared to the actual episode, and no one was seen actually taking the picture onscreen.
* Baby Jaguar does not appear in the "Let's Review!" Segment again until Willie the Whistling Duck.
* No one said "Hey! We've almost finished the puzzle!"
