Just added a jaguar cub picture to my jaguar spotting.

That must be very nice to see them in the wild, just in a fraction of second when you don't expect. Have luck for your next studies ;)

i hinted the joke! haha. yup, but i had a nice 20 second view of a jaguar on the north-western part of the country! which was ironic, because i was in the jaguar preserve for from april to july, and came across one when the field work was done there! haha, i yes i can say, i had an awesome encounter on a back, dirt road!

Was just joking, I imagine it is not easy to see those kind of animals, even with hidden camera. Thanks again for those pics

i would need to go to the zoo for that!!! there is a petting jaguar!!!! but in the wild, i have all this pics!!! i got no chance of a full view with my own eyes!! just a split second jump of a cat's half-body vanishing into the bushes from the road!!!! so, no chance for a scratch-free wild hug!
keizo
Very nice pics, thanks for sharing. Next time, don't be shy, take one of both of you making hugs ;)
