I spent five days on the Cuiabá River and its tributaries searching for jaguars in the Brazilian Pantanal. In that time, I only got lucky on a single morning, but on that morning I saw four different jags within a three hour period. This is the first of the sightings. In the top photo, green ibis are in the foreground as the jaguar emerged from the woods and walked slowly across the beach. She wasn’t there for long, and as my guide tried to maneuver the boat closer, she casually looked up at us before ducking back into the forest.
