Jaguars of the Pantanal

[Marcy]

while watching the Jaguars mossy around we talked to a biologist from Houston who studies them in this area - they have created a book with photos and describe how to identify different individuals from the their face markings - I will be looking carefully at my photos trying to ID some of them here are a couple - the lower photo shows "Tusk" easily ID by his mangled ear - not sure on the other one but will work on the ID

Doesn't look like this kitty wants to get a scritch. Very cool images. Was this in the wild?

all the Brazil shots are in the wild - we rode out board boats all along the rivers to spot birds, and cats and otters -

Beautiful capture of a beautiful animal

Love that first one and the second is pretty good as well.

Love the light in the first one. Beautiful animal!

Nice images both. The first one with the darker background highlights the animal well.

How interesting Marcy! For you to have been out in a boat, totally out in the wild must really add an level of excitement while out there I would imagine?

Great images here Marcy! A Jaguar is such an exotic animal! I remember reading stories as a child and there would be jaguars in them. I always had a sense of mystery around them, and here you were able to capture some! That's so awesome.
