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.

Living in the wild following jaguars, maned wolves and many other species allows our team to spot the life and complexity of such amazing animals. We catch the most beautiful moments but also those not as beautiful ones. Last year we found on the edge of a water hole the full skeleton of an adult jaguar.
Every single bone was collected and sent to a company called AnatoVet, specialized in rebuilding full skeletons. After 5 months of hard work from Fernando Garbelotti and Vitor Anacleto's team at UNISUL, this jaguar can now be seen standing up again. It's coming back to Pantanal with a new role at the protection of all living jaguars in the region: it will educate children and adults, fascinate more people and contribute to the big task of nature conservation!
This is our tribute to this individual found, that once lived on our forests being the free animal that all jaguar deserves to be.
