Mating Jaguars in Pantanal
On a trip to Brazil’s Pantanal in Sept 2010 I was most fortunate to see Jaguars mating in the Cuiaba River area out of Porto Jofre. For 40 minutes I was able to watch a pair of Jaguars mate five times, right out in the open, on a sandbank of a river. Unfortunately had some camera problems. But still managed to get some photos of the Jaguars mating. Also saw three other Jaguars on the trip as well as a young male Puma at a distance of only 10m !
