There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

And last but not least here is tip of a Zagaia one of the eldest weapon used in jaguars hunting in Brazil.
The hunting with the Zagaia in the past old times consists of cornering the big cat by trained dogs and waiting for the cat attack you by jumping straight at you and then in a fraction of secs you aim it at the cat and spear the tip of the Zagaia into the jag killing it.

Only a few had mastered that technique as well, it's described in detail in Sasha Siemel's book "Tigrero"
Great shots btw, only in the South are you able to get these up close shots on land.
In the north you are traveling by boat everywhere you go so you can only get them on the temporary sandbanks unless you get super lucky.
Those elder people were some brave crazy freaks lol
is that pirate male pic above recent? he still looks in good shape.
It might be, I'll ask Paulo.
Although his eye doesn't seem as bad here so I wonder if it's an older shot of him or a different male.
thats him check the spot patterns around his face and body, big cats have great healing ''ability'' I wouldn't be surprised if Paulo confirms its recent. great photo by the way.

Paulo calls him the Mick Jaguar, but it's the same one from the famous Caiman Killing video.
It's an older photo of him.

I'd just post them in the Captive Cats thread since we haven't designated individual Captive Cats for their own threads.

CAATINGA JAGUARS

IN A PROTECTED AREA IN THE BIOME CAATINGA NORTHEAST BRAZIL, THE BOQUEIRÃO DA ONÇA WITH MORE THAN 850.000 HECTARES THERE ARE LESS JAGUARS THAN PUMAS BUT BOTH SPECIES ARE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED WITH 200 PUMAS AND 30 JAGUARS ( IN 10 YEARS THERE USED TO BE 50 JAGS )
The Impenetrable National Park is also home to the largest predator in South America: the jaguar (Panthera onca). In September 2018, a conservation trap from the Conservation Land Trust captured images of an individual whose presence in the area was followed for months by researchers affiliated with the park and the Yaguareté Project, which aims to conserve Chaco jaguar populations. “It was a great relief to see that the park is an important area for species; we want to believe that he sees the park as a peaceful and undisturbed place, ”said biologist Verónica Quiroga, a research specialist at the Yaguareté Project. The researchers say that this particular jaguar was born in the Ibera region of Argentina and traveled about 800 kilometers. "His presence reveals that there are still areas for the development of biodiversity in Chaco," said Luciano Olivares, deputy secretary of the Department of Natural Resources in the province of Chaco. A few weeks later, the jaguar was captured and equipped with a satellite collar to allow researchers to follow its movements and relaunched in the Impenetrable National Park. "Thanks to this collar, we know that he was in an area of 5 to 6 square kilometers and that he did not cross the river again," said Cerón.
