 The Cerrado
 *This image is copyright of its original author Cerrado is host to over 10,000 species of plants, 45 percent of which are unique to the Cerrado, making it one of the world's most biologically abundant tropical savannas. Located in the Brazilian central plateau covering more than 700,000 square miles, or 22 percent of Brazil, the Cerrado is rolling terrain with deep sandy soils of low fertility. Rainfall is heavy in the summer (November to March), while there is little precipitation the rest of the year. Vegetation consists of grasses, low bushes, and scattered trees. Cerrado has supported a cattle industry since the seventeenth century and is now the most important ranching region of Brazil. It also hosts vast soybean agribusinesses. However, ranching and farming have taken their toll on the Cerrado, contributing to the environmental degradation of this largely unprotected area. In 2001, two protected areas of the Cerrado, Chapada dos Veadeiros and Emas National Parks, were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Captured with camera traps on São Gabriel de Goiás
The massive male Holyfield  *This image is copyright of its original author Followed by him, a wild boar  *This image is copyright of its original author The presence of boar might be beneficial for these jaguars, as they provide a prey item that is large and plentiful, and as a result, the jaguars are able to express very large sizes akin to what is seen in the Pantanal, Holyfield being a perfect example.

As Leandro mentioned Ariane female also have been seen more often lately closer to the borders areas of PNE as the Pit Bull she killed was her 3rd dog meal in a short period of time as they're approaching her and become easy food, also she's most definitely still with her cubs.

New male in the area of Serra dos Pireneus.
Bichos do Pireneus Leandro Vitorino ''For those who thought we were lucky to film that puma lying down and sleeping in front of our camera, here is a new male jaguar lying down in exactly the same place a few days later. I don't know what motivates them to do this, but maybe it is the presence of a sand in the middle of so many rocks.''  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
