The Bagheera River

2025 AD | The Rainforest Spring | Central African Republic

Bagheera's mate never came out of her hiding place in the Republic of Congo because Nicole had never given her a name. We called her Belle or Bellie and she joined Bagheera at the Rainforest Spring in the Central African Republic until the Spring shifted south toward the Rainforest Tree.

The Rainforest Spring

When asked where the female jaguar cub and all the other rainforest leaves had gone, Bellie called out "...I don't know but she seems to have floated down one!" Bellie watched her small, black cub, “Jubilee” land with a loud "Whoah!" paws up on a pile of rainforest leaves and float downstream, around a bend and out of sight on the Bagheera River. Jubilee floated all the way to the Rainforest Tree in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the Spring began. Jubilee's male twin cub “Junior,” arrived by pirogue [1] a few days later.

They have started to build the Walnut wood aqueduct, leading off of the Rainforest Spring.
