Jaguar (Panthera onca)

Each Jaguar has a unique spot pattern (like human fingerprints), allowing observers to identify individuals. The Jaguar Identification Project is a wonderful non-profit organization promoting Jaguar conservation and protection in Brazil's Pantanal. The Project publishes an annual guide to the region's Jaguars with each individual's given name along with what is known about their lineage, etc. On our trip we enjoyed an amazing 20 Jaguar encounters comprising 12 different individuals! Below are some of the photos along with each cat's name.
