This is a post related to our Pantanal Trip.


It was about 58 degrees when we woke up today and we knew it was going to be colder than yesterday on the boat. I put on most of the shirts I brought with me and could only think of the line from friends where Joey said: “Could I BE wearing any more clothes?”

We headed out and started our search just like yesterday. About 45 minutes into our search, we spotted a male Jaguar moving through the trees. His name was Bagua. The sighting only lasted about 5-10 minutes, so there were very few boats on scene. He would walk between the bushes and trees, and I did my best to get some pictures when he was clearly visible.

He quickly moved away from us to an area we could not get to. This would be our only sighting of a Jaguar this morning.

Once again, I was able to take some picture of other wildlife throughout the rest of the outing which I will share with you in a different post.
