NORTHERN PANTANAL: new large male registered:

"After the fires in Pantanal, I led a Tour in Porto Jofre. We cruised the labyrinth of rivers the snake through the region, for 4 days. We watched and photographed 14 different Jaguars, without counting the reports the other guide @pantanaltoursguide . All Jaguars individuals were healthy, including this male which was seen in the area for the first time last week, mating with known female jaguar at a sandbar along the Três Irmãos river. @jaguaridproject asked us to give him a name, so we introduce you : Forasteiro, which means Outsider.

I will be posting photos of all the different Jaguars we saw during this Tour in the following days.
We believe the most if not all individuals managed to survive in the burned areas, as they did not burn at the same time. Jaguars, caimans and capybaras live near the water, they are skilled swimmers and had previously experienced fire. Most of them were able to find shelter in ever green forest and swamps as natural selection has taught them to instinctively scape the fires ."
