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.

An amazing sighting of Xavier at night in the Pantanal wilderness. One of his first appearances in the area.
Mario Haberfeld the creator of onçafari project just spotted a special visit and it happens to be Xavier male feeding on a Cow carcass and he says that it's been about 30 to 40 minutes since we've spotted him for the very first time and oddly enough Esperança ( a famous female jaguar in the reserve ) was seen around there earlier that night but she left eventually and we were trying to figure out why because Esperança is one of the most habituated jaguars we got in the reserve and after a few minutes Xavier showed up unexpectedly and started feeding on the carcass right next to us and then we found out why Esperança left its cause she's got three cubs and having a new male in the area could be dangerous to the cubs so she didn't risk continue eating the carcass.
-It was a very emotional scene we had guests with us here and one more time we're proving the onçafari project is really working and its proving that the jaguars are worth much more alive than dead through ecotourism.
