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.

Jaguars can be yellow with black spots or look black all over. This is caused by a natural genetic mutation. There is no such species as a black panther; this is just a cat with a dark colour genetic mutation known as melanism. 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 captive Jaguar is seen at Chester Zoo.

The jaguar is a large cat species and the only living member of the genus Panthera native to the Americas. With a body length of up to 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) and a weight of up to 158 kg (348 lb), it is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third largest in the world.

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.

From Wikipedia: The jaguar is the third-largest feline species after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Americas. The jaguar's present range extends from Southwestern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. Though there are single cats now living within the western United States, the species has largely been extirpated from the United States since the early 20th century.

This was one of my favorite encounters with a wild big cat. With our boat on the river bank facing the forest, we watched as this adult female jaguar made her way down the tree trunk towards the boat. It was my turn to sit in front, so I held my breath as she stopped just a few meters from where I was sitting and eventually laid down. Her two nearly grown cubs would eventually join her. We were blessed to be able to observe the family for quite some time as they interacted with each other in close proximity to our boat.
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.

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.

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.
