I photographed this jaguar from a boat while exploring the waters of the Pantanal in Brazil. Jaguars are the third largest cats in the world behind tigers and lions, and the largest in the Americas. Other than their robust build, you can distinguish them from leopards by the extra spots within the rosettes on their coats. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend. I’ll be back early next week. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm with 1.4 teleconverter attached for a total of 550mm) ISO 800, f/7.1 at 1/250 of a second

Probably a good thing this wasn’t taken with a wide-angle lens.
No doubt Rick. And from the safety of a boat.
