You need to have guts to capture films of animals like jaguars, cayman and more .... hats off to you Christian....👏👏👏

[@al20o33]

The jaguar is one of the most beautiful of the big cats. Along with tigers, snow leopards, cloud leopards and other spotted cats. Just amazing. Too bad for the Ranchers. Losing some cattle is a small price to pay for preserving one of the most beautiful and rare of our Earth's big cats. The Rancher's have no right to own all of the Pantanal. It should be a World Heritage Reserve Site. Cow/Beef production is completely inefficient and uses much more resources on a cost basis then it produces in ultimate profit.

I was begging for a documentary on jaguars!! Thanks Christian👍🏿

[@bgmrelaxation2664]

Love this documentary so much! The narrator is amazing. Thank you for making this available for free!

[@leploeo7145]

What a "humble" and clean documentary. LLovedit. Thanks christian

[@iandouceartist]

I like the way he says its difficult to find a Jaguar! Then goes deep into the jungle to find one, what a privilege to see this magnificent cat, but boy it must be very dangrous, thanks for providing such a great film.

[@cheismilanni2359]

Hi, I believe the most people like me are more interested of to see more videos filming about Jaguars that how they raised their cubs, and more about them please. thank you.

[@AlvaroCenteno-i6t]

Thank you Christian, amazing job!

[@stevelambert2723]

Excellent documentary and narrative. Danke Christian.

[@cheismilanni2359]

Thanks for doing the best videos about the real King of the Jungle JAGUAR, 👍👍

[@nancyadamson286]

Your work is comprehensive, kudos to you and the crew! Very interesting, lots of extraneous information that adds to the video.

[@get.factual]

Thank you for your comment!

[@gef991]

Excellent documentary 🙂👍

[@khillsy4489]

Ten minutes of decent Jaguar footage.

[@kimber46]

I would love to see someone else get more. These animals are called elusive and secretive for a reason!

[@Guyverman01]

Those ranchers should release the odd cattle into the wild so that they can be a viable food source for Jaguars.

[@Mrqueuetube-tj7oq]

@9:45, what a unit

[@christianemontazer]

Too much cattle, wildlife is being squeezed out of its territory 😢

[@kimber46]

So sad it's true. Such a beautiful cat

[@jerrykeown753]

Big cats are much like humans, both adapt to their environments.

[@opetaiaseni1955]

Its an advantage too since that hunt cattle.

[@malenedietl3369]

Yeah, when will we learn??

[@malenedietl3369]

​@@jerrykeown753 Humans don't adapt, they invade. Greed and ignorance makes us trample down the land, its resources and indrgenous inhabitants.

[@DAWEAP1]

awesome film!

[@fabianodias5718]

the jaguar is the most complete feline on the planet..it hunts on land and in the water

[@sherrillraymond7595]

And in trees

[@giovanna722]

Great doc. Loved the narration. Thank you.

[@10laws2liveby]

The ranchers should consider that tithing is not only due to the church but to the forest, which truly is the church that feeds his flock.

[@juliolopez4092]

I agree the ranchers are cornering the jaguars. That is not fair .Jaguar should be preserved.👍👍👍

[@theoneandonly6441]

That clip of the jaguar killing the caiman is off another documentary

[@christianemontazer]

… that’s ok by me 🥰

[@ZadenZane]

Why does he need such a humungous great camera? Surely in the 21st century something much smaller can do the same job?

[@Lubomchladek]

Hi thank you nice video in nature.

[@ramthian]

They are so cute 🥰

[@kiasax2]

Before getting into her 2nd career, my wife was a zoologist and went on a British expedition to the Belizean jungles to, get this, COUNT JAGUARS! Talk about guts! No one in her group carried a firearm! Not a single gun! I've been in the Central and South American jungles too, but I had both handguns and rifles. No chance I'd go there without guns. I've heard that jaguars have been seen in the southwest of the US recently. That may not be accurate but as I recall there were photos of the big cat.

[@rosettaiovine7231]

This very nerve-racking

[@bryanjacob94]

Favorite animal 🙌🏼

[@richardzachary2652]

Excellent an interesting Indiana Jones🤠 with a we camera.

[@odileiavalu6481]

Lindo vídeo

[@philipsutton8921]

this clip is very old, because that camera he lugs around is about 10 times bigger than the new digital cameras now-days.

[@mandysyoutubething]

I really hate how wildlife is treated. They take over their home, push their normal food around if not away entirely but then complain from their "precious" cattle is attacked. What do you expect!?

[@sherrillraymond7595]

Ikr

[@metalmamasue3680]

Exactly right. It's so arrogant to move into animals homes and then destroy them for being wild animals. It's humans who are the true threat to wildlife. We must do better and learn to coexist with all our animal neighbors. Maybe some kind of large dog breed will keep jaguars away from the cattle.

[@rosettaiovine7231]

Sooo cool 😮

[@DadsLloyd]

Too much focus on the photographer and his team. Let the animals be the stars.

[@Renovatio-BYH7]

It is little bit exaggeration to say it is a dangerous job! I am from Africa, and we know a thing or two about wild animals'. Dude with that expensive camera is in more danger in New york, San Francisco and Chicago than the jungle of Brazil.

[@SamanunuNarube]

It's true lions is the king off the jungle, but I love jaguar.

[@metalmamasue3680]

I understand ranchers needing to make a living. But jaguars were there first & their conservation must be preserved. They must be protected, and the ranchers compensated for any losses. We have to stop being such horrible neighbors to our wild friends. Humans have been coexisting with wild animaIs forever. There's no reason they can't agree to Ieave the jaguars alone & learn to live in peace. Maybe some kind of large dog breeds will keep the jaguars from preying on the cattle. We must work together with wildlife. Not destroy it when you moved into their homes.

[@homayonreah1955]

Film maker(s) show their ownselves more than the animals!!!

[@guidododo4822]

I jumped when it sprang out of the bushes to attack the croc.

[@ChimaR-t1b]

The Black Vultures having a balanced meal was a great comment... 😂😂😂

[@diegocando3827]

BUEN DOCUMENTAL. Fuera mejor si el locutor no saliera en el documental.

[@ratter531]

Jaguar bite force is 1500 PSI

[@mauriceeastmond5988]

Some clips added from other videos

[@christianemontazer]

……and😳

[@lumberdog198]

4 percent of 4 million cattle lost to jaguars? That is 160 thousand head of cattle lost to jaguars? with an eastimated population of 5000 jaguars in the pantanal.. that is 32 head of cattle per jaguar.

[@janmenjoykhutia743]

R u Mr. Jaguar?

[@juliolopez4092]

Also sostainable pork.👍👍👍

[@juliolopez4092]

Don't eat beef 🍖 meat. So only organics vegetables, grains and sosteinable fish.Also eggs.Also organic chicken and turkey.👍👍👍

[@Paumzera]

Infelizmente nosso Brasil, não esta preservando conforme deveriam. E um dia, iremos pagar por isso.

[@emanuelcm4060]

Infelizmente, outro basileiro falando merda sobre o BR para estrangeiros. Nenhum país tem moral pra falar conosco sobre preservação ambiental. Nenhum país tem uma proporção tão grande de área natural ORIGINAL preservada. Repete como papagaio essa cantilena progressista dos picaretas verdes nacionais e estrangeiros, que não abandonam seus carrões, aviões e iates movidos a muito combustível fóssil.

[@ramthianthomson601]

❤😊

[@olavwilhelm6843]

to much christian to little jaguar. and the killed caiman was deffo not 60 kilogram

[@shafqatishan437]

Both Jacare and Spectacled caimans avg less than 40 kg.

[@malenedietl3369]

Those amazing blue parrots, so rare and specific to one area, offcourse human beings in their insatiable greed must steel them away to keep them as pets in their homes!! It makes me sick! These birds will loose their beauty sitting in a cage, they are so much more lovely in nature doing what these parrots do best: be birds in their own environment. And the cattle/ jaguar problem is horrible too. Allways money wins, money is more important than anything. Ppl don't think about, that the quest for mor money is going to make everuone poorer and eventually kill us all. Jaguars, parrots, otters and so many precious, important animals killed slowly for economic gain, what a tragedy.
