Wild carnivores and humans compared

[Dark Jaguar]

Leandro's recent Interview with Richard Rasmussen on Jaguar attacks.

''Jaguars do attack humans in rare conditions but the truth is they do attack, and we cannot be even irresponsible to say to people they don't attack humans AT ALL.

Jaguars do respect us as predator and we got an advantage they don't see us as preys, its great advantage, meaning if you're walking in the forest there's no risks of a jaguar to think ''hey there's food passing by''.

However if this jaguar is feeling a tiny bit of threat from you whether it is with a cub or if its feeding on a kill and you didn't see it, theres risks of that jaguar rapidly come at you attack you and kill you very fast, faster than you will be able to fend off the attack.

In Brazil there are more than 80 jaguar attacks to humans cases registered in the last 40 years.''
