JOARES MAY ON HIS ADVENTURES CAPTURING JAGUARS.

https://empty.com.br/blog/oncas-ecco/


''At the end of last year, Joares May, a veterinarian who has been working in the conservation of Brazilian wild carnivores for 12 years he's always aiming at their protection, health and their monitoring, he participated of two projects - Panthera and Onçafari where he managed to capture 4 jaguars.''


"We managed to capture a pair, the 130 Kg male which was the heaviest jaguar to date along with a female of 70 Kg. And we ended up recapturing a 115 Kg male so his necklace was removed. The pair on the other hand was put on the necklace and now they're being monitored 24 hours.

The fourth jaguar found was during the Onçafari Expedition - this project is at Refúgio Ecológico Caiman in Mirada - MS. A female of about 95 Kg that was already being monitored by cameras and direct observation.

She had a cub which could make the capture much more dangerous, the cub was a young female of almost one year old. Both were observed two days before the capture and were closely followed for a week after the capture.''

NOTE: He stated the 130 kg male being the heaviest captured, I didn't find the date/year of when Joares May made that claim even in the link so I assume maybe that jaguar said to be the heaviest was probably captured before Lopez male of 148 kg.

These large Pantanal jaguars don't even surprise me anymore, they're so common everytime I bump into them nowadays I am like ''one more to join the table and this is it'', but I am really looking forward to fill the Central Pantanal jaguars area of the table though, we only got 2 so far, I can't wait to find out more about those domestic horse eaters.
