Diego Marquez, an eight-year-old, rough-and-tumble action-adventure hero with an intense love of nature and the animals around him is in critical condition today in Sao Paolo after being mauled by a jaguar. Diego, the animated star of Go, Diego, Go! takes viewers on exciting animal rescue missions while encouraging them to jump, clap, cheer and speak in English and Spanish each step of the way. He has nearly always been accompanied by a lovable baby jaguar.
The jaguar has been growing much more rapidly than Diego of course, and earlier today Diego was playfully taunting the animal with a length of string when it tore off his arm with one mighty swipe.
Authorities caution people that wild animals, particularly big cats, never make safe pets.
Fellow child star Dora the Explorer had only this to say. "I told him, stick with the kincajou, but after seeing Scarface he had to have a tiger or a jaguar."
