BRAZIL: Jaguar #2.

Bloody Jaguars are like buses - wait for ages and then two come along at once! Seriously though, really couldn't believe our luck on 21st September as we headed north out of the Pantanal towards Cuiaba. First we get prolonged views of Tayra (below) and then a Jaguar sitting in the middle of a field!

Tayra, Pantanal 21st September 2008.

Ricardo Casarin in "cold-weather gear" in the Pantanal. Little did he know ........

By the way - Check out Ricardo's Dad's restaurant in Chapada dos Guimaraes if you're there. It's off the main square in town and carries the Casarin name.
