Foreign diplomatic visitors are typically given some of their most famous national treasures as gifts by diplomats and government representatives from other countries; this is especially true of Queen Elizabeth II. Thus, one of Brazil’s national treasures—jaguars—was brought back by the Queen from her visit there!
