In the Pantanal region of Brasil jaguars live on the edge of the rivers to capture their favourite prey, capybaras & alligators. I was following this female jaguar by boat as she was patrolling the shoreline, and fascinated by how she would appear and disappear from sight among the roots, camouflage working its trick. I was surprised by how aquatic these big cats are often swimming along the shore as they hunt.
