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.
Thats amazing information thanks I actually wondered how those wild horses ended up there, haha thanks.
I believe Llanos jaguars predated these animals including feral horses in the past. Like you said they must've been massive, its no wonder there are many black and white pics from the past with extremely big animals. The largest ones will be the first to get shot, so the elder the pics and registrations the larger the animals we might find searching from old hunting records but it has to be ancient haha.
Anyways I just watched a Podcast interview with Leandro last night and he said the idea of reintroducing the orphan cerrado jaguars in the wild wasn't his, it was IBAMA's idea, it happened in 2009 Leandro didn't like animals in captivity neither he had sanctuary back then and he was working just on the field capturing wild jaguars and maned wolves and collaring them, IBAMA Insisted him to keep the orphan cerrado cubs ( Xavante, Kyra and Maya ) he was against the idea in the beginning cause he knew it wouldn't work cause the cubs already created a bond with humans but IBAMA insisted alot.
here's the video on what he says about it.
By the way Did you watch the documentary of Lenda?? I am still waiting your feedback about it hehe.
