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.
I'm back in town and able to sit down to upload some pictures.
Here's some of my better shots from my first day.
Jaguars will be the first of the uploads then I'll upload the other animals and Birds bit by bit.
First Up is Marley
Marley is a very unique male in the Pantanal.
He is very small and still able to beat up on many larger males, he's also still young, only around 4.
He is also unique in the fact that he was born in the Pantanal and never left, most males leave the Pantanal and are never seen back, only the biggest and strongest males show up in the Pantanal and claim their prize and usually they are ones not known to Paulo at the time.

Hunter
Hunter is one of the Largest females in the Pantanal, at this point she was possibly mating with the giant male I'll post below, they were definitely with one another for most of the day but I never witnessed them mating on this day. I did see them mating the following day but we weren't 100% confirmed and Paulo likes to be positive but the odds are it was them.

This is the Gigantic male I was telling you guys about. He was in the long wet grass dragging this massive caiman along, you can barely see him in the first image but he's easier to see in the 2nd one
