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.

From the study: Threat or Threatened? The relation between Jaguars (Panthera onca ), Pumas (Puma concolor) and residents of Mamirauá and Amanã Sustainable Development Reserves in the Amazon.
Skulls of Amazonic jaguars killed by a breeder, with the help of trained dogs, in retaliation for predation of pigs and calves in the Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Amanã.

The reconstructed skeleton of Troncha, the heaviest female jaguar weighed so far (100 kg).
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.
''It was not possible to identify the cause of death because there were only bones left with no marks of any kind of action. Jaguars die in their natural habitat of old age, due to fights with other jaguars or even injuries caused by prey, such as the Giant Anteater and its huge claws or by the sharp teeth of a Pecari.''

For those of you who have skull replicas of big cats, especially tigers, can some of you please capture pictures of the skull without the mandible from the similar angle like the picture below?
Try capture the skull from the top angle like the picture above without the nasal holes, like the red circle area below, showing in the picture so at least there is no additional angle distortion. If you look carefully at the first photo, the nasal holes can't be seen from the top while the second picture we can see the nasal holes. Thank you.
