Garoa ( short Rain in portuguese ) was the first cub to be born in the Project Onçafari. Her name was given because she was the daughter of Chuva ( Rain in portuguese ). Back then Chuva Her mother was seen with the dominant male in the region Fantasma, and we suspect that he is the father of Garoa. The many sightings of Garoa with the Project's team from early in her life have contributed to the tolerance and relaxation that this female had demonstrated in the presence of our vehicles. She had been sighted climbing and resting on a tree, playing with her friend Natureza ( another cub born during Project Onçafari ) and also with a very shy male.   - Adam Bannister

Although she showed signs of several pregnancies, she never succeeded in motherhood. In October 2016, the team found her body already lifeless, showing many signs of a fight with other Jaguars such as scratches all over her body and very deep bite marks on her trachea, a blow that possibly resulted in her premature death. Very sad.
