This is the same Jaguar that I posted a photo of previously swimming. At this point he was on the bank above us. Taken on our Brazil Pantanal tour last year.

Nate,
You certainly got some fine shots of Jaguars on your trip, I am deeply envious, but at least I get to see yours devil

Very nice to be able to capture it as you did. They so often spend their days sleeping on the riverbanks.

Hi Nate,

This image shows how those spots and rosettes break up the outline. I like the lighting and pose......................Jim

Hi Nate,

Solid shot of a "not too commonly seen" (especially on NPN!) predator - nicely done. While your aperture/DoF choices make this one stand out nicely, you still get a good feel for the camou "properties" of this cat's coat.

Thanks for sharing this one.

Nate: very nice capture of this little seen animal. Looks like S America's version of the leopard. Richard
