Big Cerrado (one of the Brazilian's Biomes) wild Jaguar.

WORTH WATCHING. 
 

 
For those Jaguar fans an lovers its in Portuguese but its worth watching (at least the footages) 

In this video Richard (a very famous animal lover in brazil) visits once again the area of Instituto Onça-Pintada where they keep Jaguars for further studies and wild introduction in case the wild species goes to extinction in Brazil. Richard was warned by Leandro Silveira ( Biologist and the President of Instituto Onça Pintada)  that they received a visit of a wild young CERRADO Jaguar and they will monitor him in the wild throughout his whole life to know more about the Cerrado Jaguars behavior and much more to save the species. From 7:06 min. you'll see the behavior difference between a capitive Male Jaguar and a wild Cerrado Male Jaguar which was lured by the capitive male. which weights 110 kilos. At 23:06 min. you can see they putting the colar on this Cerrado Jaguar, he is huge, I am really impressed about these Jaguars getting so big outside of Pantanal ( even Richard and Leandro themselves were impressed about the size) and then Leandro claims they know very little about the Cerrado Jaguars and very few were captured and monitored. At 24:08min the big fellow is being carried to be weighed and measured. Finally the so awaited moment that they weight him and find out how big a Cerrado Jaguar can get at 25:34 min in total weight they say ''CENTO E DEZ QUILOS'' 110kg or 242.508 lbs. By the end they discover he is a very healthy young male with perfect canines and already with battle scars and they wanna know how long a Cerrado Jaguar can live in the wild and then the young Cerrado Jaguar gets the name Richard in tribute to Richard himself hahaha and then he wakes up and goes back to the wild.
