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.

What comes to lions, they are naturally more familiar to face multiple opponents and not too confused to be in such situation. In some cases they have been told to take risk on purpose while trying to intimidate opponents away even when outnumbered. One maybe extreme example Mr. T mapogo was known to make bold moves.
Then again I think, that jaguars and other big cats aren´t as used to such situations. Is it true or false, who knows, but it is one thing which I think about when thinking about it, that why Edno was told to be run away or chased away or kicked away. Or was it?
You think, that Edno made clear, that he´s the boss, but if he escaped it´s another story. Then again even if he got intimidated, siblings might have been too despite one time victory. Personally I haven´t made up my mind what comes to this incident and I hope that more information comes up so, that it could be better understood what happened. Are the descriptions spot on or not etc.
Also this is one good example of one thing. Often is discussed how guides know what happens etc. Here we have a guide saying, that big male jaguar ran away from fight... and now looks like, that he doesn´t get too much credibility here. I find it interesting too. Then again I´ve always been a bit careful with guides etc. They can put some color to things and that is one thing why I hope to see more footage. Especially because now guide isn´t only one, who was there at place, suggesting, that siblings did good in this confrontation.
