The Pantanal is a tropical wetland and the world's largest wetland of any kind. The Pantanal is home to one of the largest and healthiest jaguar populations on Earth.
The jaguar is the third-largest feline species after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Americas. The jaguar is a near-threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still frequently killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in South America.
This is number one adrenaline shot of my life. Why? Because there was half metre water between boat and land. And for this guy, I think, it was ca 2-3 seconds to reach the boat.

Facts: The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only extant Panthera species native to the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline species after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Americas. The jaguar is a near-threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still frequently killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in Brazil and illegal hunting.
It's a privilege to photograph this powerful and fascinating animal in its habitat.
Happy Caturday!

Jaguars are the only big cat in the Americas and the third biggest in the world after tigers and lions. They look a lot like leopards, which live in Africa and Asia, but jaguars’ spots are more complex and often have a dot in the center.
These powerful cats were worshipped as gods in many ancient South American cultures, and representations of the jaguar show up in the art and archaeology of pre-Columbian cultures across the jaguar’s range.
Jaguars face a number of threats, including habitat fragmentation and illegal killing. South and Central America’s high rates of deforestation—for grazing land, agriculture, and other uses—have not only destroyed jaguars’ habitat but also broken it up. Fragmented forests mean that cats get boxed into patches of forest and can’t travel far to find new mates. That kind of isolation can lead to inbreeding and local extinctions.
Another threat jaguars face is retaliatory killings from ranchers. As grazing land replaces forests, jaguars are more likely to hunt cattle. In response—and sometimes in anticipation—cattle owners kill jaguars.
Poaching is another growing problem for jaguars. They’ve long been hunted for their pelts, and now there’s a growing illegal, international trade in jaguar teeth and jaguar bone products going to China.

Ce qui permet sur ce cliché de distinguer le jaguar d'une panthère : ses rosettes avec un point noir au milieu, bien visible sur sa queue.
The Jaguar is a compact and well-muscled animal. It is the largest cat native to the Americas and the third largest in the world, exceeded in size by the tiger and the lion. Its coat is generally a tawny yellow. Jaguars are at risk of becoming Jaguars are at risk of becoming extinct; deforestation, fragmentation and hunting are causing their numbers to decline in the wild.
‘Beast of prey’ is thought to be the meaning of the word ‘jaguar’, originally ‘yaguara’ from the Tupian language. This Jaguar is seen at Chester Zoo.

Der Jaguar E-Type von 1964 ist ein wichtiges Modelljahr, da ab hier der 3,8-Liter-Motor durch einen größeren 4,2-Liter-Motor ersetzt wurde
. Diese Fahrzeuge gehören zur ersten Serie („Series 1“) und sind bekannt für ihre geschlossenen Scheinwerfer. Sie waren die erste Generation des E-Type nach seiner Premiere 1961, der als eines der schönsten Autos aller Zeiten galt.
The 1964 Jaguar E-Type is an important model year, as it marked the replacement of the 3.8-liter engine with a larger 4.2-liter engine.
These cars belong to the first series (“Series 1”) and are known for their closed headlights. They were the first generation of the E-Type after its premiere in 1961, which was considered one of the most beautiful cars of all time.

This dusty jaguar car features the typical aggresively jumping jaguar figurine - which is in a nice contrast to the overall state of the car. As much as I love the Jaguar brand, I see the whole scene as a symbol of the upcoming technology shift from internal combustion engines to electric drives.

The jaguar, Panthera onca, is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
Unfortunately, the jaguar is a near threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat.
This one is a wild old male and he was resting in a river bank at Rio Cuibá, Mato Grosso (Pantanal National Park). Very difficult light conditions, handheld and taken from a little boat.

The jaguar is the king of the South America's jungle. The Pantanal subspecies is the largest and heaviest, twice the size of those in Central America. They exist in 18 countries in Latin America, from Mexico to Argentina, but they reach the largest condentration in The Pantanal. Despite this broad range, jaguars have been eradicated from 40% of their historic range, and are now extinct in Uruguay and El Salvador, where they once lived. While the rare individual has been spotted in the United States, there has been no evidence of a breeding population in the U.S. for more than 50 years.
The jaguar is listed as "Near Threatened" on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, although its status is currently under review and may be elevated to "Vulnerable."
In the Pantanal, the species is threatened by the loss and fragmentation of its traditional habitat, conflict with local people due to the real or perceived threat posed to livestock, and overhunting by local people.
