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.
That was a stunning large melanistic male, I have a good feeling that the perpetrators will be apprehended since there's a lot of uproar online. That jaguar was absolutely huge and it's such a shame to lose an impressive specimen like that.
A lot of cattle ranchers will complain that jaguar kill the cattle while they simultaneously void the ecosystems that jaguars inhabit off their natural prey. A large male like that needs of big game to sustain its size, when key prey stone species like marsh deer or tapir are reduced in number, they have no other option but to kill cattle and horses.
Unfortunately this is the position all of our beloved big cats are in.
Loss of habitat to make room for the humans ever expanding demands.
