- 🚨🐈⬛❤️🐈🚨 I am thrilled to share our latest publication in Ecology and Evolution, where we show the first scientifically documented video of a melanistic jaguar mating in the wild! Here is what we found 👇🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… #Jaguars #bigcat #naturalhistory #ecology #rainforest
- 🧵1. Captured in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, we filmed a melanistic jaguar female 🐈⬛ mating with a spotted male 🐈 - the first scientifically documented video evidence of jaguar mating in the wild! This rare event offers new insights into jaguar behaviour and conservation.
- 🧵2. Wild jaguar mating is almost never observed, let alone captured on camera 📸. We hit the scientific jackpot - giving us a unique opportunity: the first comparison between wild mating behaviour with what we know from captive jaguar studies.
