Field Notes

Notes:

It was lying on the riverbank. I spotted an ocelot at NP near my house last year. A jaguar, next? I usually post a picture for identification purpose only, but I wanted to share the excitement with all of you.

Thank you very much for your comment, valentina1. Have you seen them in Uruguay? It is very difficult to see any wild cats in Costa Rica,

Thank you very much for your comments. I hope that I will be able to post photos of other wild cats someday.
