Panthera Onca checking us out in The Pantanal!

This was 1 of 9 Jaguar sightings we had during a 5 day stay, in a house boat, near Porto Jofre in The Pantantal area of Brazil. A fantastic experience to see so much nature and wildlife closeup and one not to be missed if you have the chance!

Wow, I'm so jealous. We visited the Pantanal a few years back but never saw a Jaguar! Here's some of our photos:

  Thanks for the positive comment! From your photos, I can see that you captured beautifully a lot of the wildlife we saw, plus some we missed. It appears that we all will have to revisit the Pantanal! Posted 11 years ago

The Jaguar

The jaguar 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. The jaguar's present range extends from Southern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina.
