Who said cats do not swim? I do not know but it is definitely not true for jaguars in Pantanal. Porto Jofre at the end of Transpantaneira Road is located at Rio São Lourenço and ideal starting point for safaris on the river with little speed boats. On July 20th, 2019 this picture was taken after the jaguar  crossed the river and decided not go straight ashore but suddenly turned towards us swimming along the shore to find the right spot to leave the water. Slowly backing up we got an incredibly exciting viewing of it’s great swimming skills and plenty of great shots.
