The Swimming Panther From Brazil

On camera they caught a black jaguar crossing the Amazon in plain day he was black and sleek and swam like an otter with motion and sway Head of the wild life foundation was present ready to capture with lens a special moment that at first looked like a crocodile, this made no sense Black jaguars are near threatened species in Central and South America so this big cat swimming the waters of Brazil was more then just la di da They estimate only 600 black jaguars are left, so it was smart to mention the footage and raise awareness in order to promote their protection It was a pretty smart move for that jaguar to pick that boat to swim near I hope they will survive for I think they are creatures to admire not fear.

Such a magnificent animal, sad that man has to kill what he fears or does not understand. Did not realise that there was only 600 left in the world : ( thank you for your informative poem Emilia : )

Hello dear Emilia, thank you for stopping by, since the world began we have been taking things apart rather then preserving, today I realize it will be a joint effort if we are going to change our way of thinking. Thankyou for caring. have a great day.

What a pity we are killing all wild life and ruining our planet. Same is happening in our oceans. ~~

Yes Kim I often thought of that myself, how nice it would be to be able to pat a tiger or a lion and not r feel threatened by either party, thank you for stopping by, I hope you had a pleasant day.
