IUCN Red List Status: Near Threatened - at Pantanal - Brazil.

Jaguars are mighty cats most easily recognized by the bold rosettes generously spotted across their tawny-colored coats. They have thick, stocky legs and short, round ears. The jaguar has the strongest of all the felines. The name “jaguar” originates from the Tupi and Guarani languages of South America from the word yaguareté, or “true, fierce beast and he who kills in one leap.” The majestic jaguar is a symbol of power for many Latin-American cultures, it represents the power of nature and is seen as the protector of the rainforest. These magnificent cats are distributed from Mexico to Argentina across 18 countries, and Brazil holds around half of the wild jaguars in the world. Their habitats include wet and dry forests, savannahs, and shrublands. Jaguars are strong swimmers and climbers and are dependent on healthy freshwater systems and access to great amounts of territory for survival. www.worldwildlife.org/species/jaguar

Wishing a Peaceful Monday!

A beautiful Red-and-green Macaw in flight at sunset. Photography taken at Buraco das Araras, MS, Brasil. I'm completely in love with the araras I met in my last trip to Pantanal.

Have a nice day!
