October 2014.

''An unexpected and unprecedented result in the cameras was the recording of a jaguar
known to the team and had only been sighted once along with Natureza female in February 1st 2013.
This same male jaguar nicknamed Sombra (Shadow in portuguese) is a male of estimated age
over three years and first appeared on our cameras in October 23rd 2014.
on a calf carcass located at invernada do Palma 01. The calf was slaughtered
by the female jaguar Teorema which was sighted feeding on it along with her
daughter Nusa. Sombra male appeared in the carcass at dawn and he fed on it quickly
very attentive and looking several times to the surroundings.''

The team believes that this male inhabits the interior of the RPPN and for this reason
he is not sighted or recorded frequently.
