Pantanal 2015

We visited the Pantanal in September 2015 on an Exodus tour led by the irrepressible and enthusiastic Paul Goldstein. We had some amazing wildlife encounters, most notably observing a pair of Jaguars which were mating. This led to extremely vocal and aggressive interactions between the pair, and of course exceptional viewing for us. They were at the end of the mating cycle and the female seemed to have had enough! The day afterwards we saw her on her own and in hunting mode after a week or so without food. Overall a wonderful trip.
