There was a farewell party for KOHARU the jaguar's daughter as she was moving. Gift of fishes were given to their pond, and they were happily eating together. KOUME the mother was the one playing with the suspended toys. Thanks to these, they won't feel lonely. Goodbye KOHARU!😭
We watched this female jaguar resting during midday heat (40+ degrees). Suddenly, a massive male jaguar jumped out of the bushes. The female's adrenaline kicked in and her pupils turned blue for a second, as you can see on the shots.
