Old Fantasma male feeding on cattle he killed at Refúgio Ecológico Caiman in October 2013.

Big, powerful male!

Yup Fantasma despite being old he was a real powerhouse with many scars and not allowing the approach of any other male in his vicinity for a period of almost a year in that reserve in Southern Pantanal, according to Onçafari he spent most of his life patrolling, marking his territory and warding off invasors. This video was nearing the time he disappeared and he was never seen again and the arrival of Xavier male which was younger and very robust as well, some say they probably had an ugly fight but there's no proof of it, Onçafari claims Fantasma had abdominal flaccidity and very worn out dentition indicating old age.  Onçafari believes Fantasma died of natural cases, and Xavier after his reign in the Refúgio Ecológico Caiman along the years, Xavier changed his territory to the Northern Pantanal out of Onçafari's studying area. Elusive cats.

I wonder how many northern and southern males go back and forth?
It'd be great if they were able ID the same jag in both areas one day. Reply
