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.
