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.

This is Xando, a young (about 3 years old), gorgeous, cross-eyed Jaguar that still hangs out all the time with his brother, Bororo. They are off springs of the legendary Ruth, which is the most important (Jaguar) matriarch in the Meeting of the Waters State Park, Northern Pantanal.

Paulo Barreiros Hunter is the largest female Jaguar around here. She’s the granddaughter of the legendary Ruth, which is the most important (Jaguar) matriarch in the Meeting of the Waters State Park, Northern Pantanal.
After losing her first and only cub (when he was nearly independent), this year she had cubs again. Good luck Hunter!

The horrible fires that ravaged the Southern Pantanal
"The Pantanal continues to suffer from an incredibly strong drought! The month of October almost had no rains and the firse returned with violence caused by strong winds and record temperatures of over 45 Degrees! Images of the corixo mata-dog, Miranda River and BR-262 that connects corumba' to campo grande. The Highway was closed because of the Fire. 8479 outbreaks in the pantanal this year, more than 300% increase compared to last year. Over 50 miles of fire! And the flames spread with the wind and burn the green vegetation over ps flooded....the roots...population suffering from toxic smoke, with loss of communication because fiber was burned, posts and transmission networks affected and bridges of committed wood. Over 50 acres burned. There are 29 brigadistas of the previous fire of ibama, more than 30 firefighers of MS, MT Lent a plane to launch water. In two days poured more than 110 thousand liters of water in the burning vegetation!, firefighters of df also provided a plane prepared to fight forest fires, ibama sent helicopter with basket to launch water, ms left pm helicopter for transport of Troops. The most absurd of all this: Mato Grosso do sul has more than 60% of the Brazilian Pantanal, has Cerrado and Atlantic Forest and here in the state does not have a plane or helicopter prepared to put out the forest fires.
