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.

PARQUE ESTADUAL DO TURVO
The jaguar's last home in southern Brazil (RS)

"The Turvo State Park is a Brazilian conservation unit for integral nature protection, located in the northwest of Rio Grande do Sul, in the city of Derrubadas, next to the Uruguay River, where it borders the Argentine province of Misiones."

5th Yabotí individual (recorded by Bjorn-Einar Nilsen).

[b]The presence of these animals shows the importance of Parque do Turvo for the preservation of several species in the region.[/b]



The new individual was registered in 2018 (on Turvo) and last sight in 2022 (as far as i know) was Yabotí and he's an Argentine jaguar that made a trip through Turvo.

Currently, the jaguar continues to be one of the most persecuted felines by man, along with Puma concolor, mainly because it preys on domestic livestock, such as cattle and goats. This generally occurs when the number of prey decreases, often as a result of environmental changes caused by man, such as deforestation and predatory hunting of these prey.

One year ago 
lean & mean: a Atlantic Forest male Jaguar known as 'Peter' made a appearence at Iguaçu National Park, two tourists quickly stopped to record this amazing specimen!


Jaguars from the Atlantic Forest like 'Peter' tend to be smaller than those in the spotlight, like from the Pantanal, Llanos or Cerrado.
Even with the difference in size, jaguars from the Atlantic Forest region are usually not that thin. 'Peter' was looking like this due to have been mating with 'Cacira' for days. Both are “old” acquaintances of the "Onças do Iguaçu Project" team. As we know, jaguars are solitary animals, the couples remain together only during the female's heat period, generally 6 to 16 days, then they separate. This time may have been enough to let 'Peter' focus on his priorities and "forget" to feed himself.
'Peter' and 'Cacira' in the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu in Brazil. In the images it looks like a jaguar with a cub but they are two adults, Peter's size is very prominent next to Cacira.
