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.

Video of the male in question:
That huge male's name is Edno and he was first seen in 2019
Him, Balam, and the last male I posted are all tanks and it's great to see so many huge toms around PJ now that Mick and Adriano are gone. Hopefully after this virus situation passes we'll get better footage of them once tourists return.
Very bad news, apparently poaching has picked up quite a bit since covid struck. I really fear for the Pantanal, these fisherman that became guides know where all the cats are and they don't care about wildlife the way people like Paulo, Paul and others from Panthera do.
These are horrible news, I had heard the same thing happening in Colombia due to covid as well. I would hope the government would enforce environmental protections through indicting those who poach or facilitate poaching but oftentimes they just turn the other cheek. I heard recent news of someone being jailed in Venezuela for killing a jaguar and posting the pictures online, hopefully the same can be done in other countries but I doubt it.
