Thank you for your visit and comments!
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.
Better Seen Large!
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 and a weight of up to 158 kg, 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.
This beautiful female jaguar was trying to hunt - her cubs were nearby. However, you can see how degraded the vegetation is - very dry and damaged from the fired. It makes her task very difficult. I hope they have a chance, they deserve a chance. Climate change is affecting all living beings. Jaguars are currently a very vulnerable species.

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.

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.

Have a great Weekend Y'all..:)
Teotihuacan is a massive archaeological site nestled in the northeastern part of the Valley of Mexico. It was the cultural, political, economic, and religious center of ancient Mesoamerica from about 100BC to 550 AD, when the major monuments were burned. Teotihuacan was the largest city in the pre-Columbian Americas, with a peak population of approximately 125,000.
This image is part of the exhibit "Teotihuacan: City of Water, City of Fire" at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. It is from the facade of a palace at the Xalla complex, located North of the Pyramid of the Sun. The exhibit is well worth a visit if you are in San Francisco before February 11, but the site in Mexico would be better!
Hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Happy Caturday !
This image was taken from a boat in the middle of the river surrounded by other boats trying to photograph jaguars.
The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large felid species and the only living member of the genus Panthera native to the Americas. Its distinctively marked coat features pale yellow to tan colored fur covered by spots that transition to darker rosettes on the sides. With a body length of up to 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in), it is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third largest in the world. Its powerful bite allows it to pierce the shells of turtles, and to employ an unusual killing method with mammals: it bites directly through the skull of prey between the ears to deliver a fatal blow to the brain.
It inhabits a variety of forested and open terrains, but its preferred habitat is tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forest, wetlands and wooded regions. The jaguar is adept at swimming and is largely a solitary, opportunistic, stalk-and-ambush apex predator that is not preyed upon in the wild. As a keystone species, it plays an important role in stabilizing ecosystems and regulating prey populations.
The jaguar is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, and its population is declining. = Wikipedia

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.
