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.
Today I was in contact with a very popular safari reserve in the Colombian Llanos and I asked them about the feeing habits of jaguars in the area, they told me that their main prey items where capybara and white tailed deer, they also said that despite having a steady population of wild horses they haven't registered any predation on horses by jaguars or cougars as of yet, they said that could be due to the very healthy populations of their common prey in the reserve. They also haven't registered losses on cattle or domestic horses either, that's what happens when the biome where these cats live has enough of their natural prey for them.
They also told me they have registered both jaguars and cougars through camera trapping but haven't released the images (I'm crossing my fingers they will eventually do so), that was the most frustrating part because the photographic data we have of these jaguars is scarce.
