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.

And last but not least here is tip of a Zagaia one of the eldest weapon used in jaguars hunting in Brazil.
The hunting with the Zagaia in the past old times consists of cornering the big cat by trained dogs and waiting for the cat attack you by jumping straight at you and then in a fraction of secs you aim it at the cat and spear the tip of the Zagaia into the jag killing it.

Only a few had mastered that technique as well, it's described in detail in Sasha Siemel's book "Tigrero"
Great shots btw, only in the South are you able to get these up close shots on land.
In the north you are traveling by boat everywhere you go so you can only get them on the temporary sandbanks unless you get super lucky.
