“I would choose the jaguar, without a doubt. I have always been attracted to this mysterious and solitary creature. Its nobility, strength, courage and majesty are some of its qualities that have me totally captivated.
This elusive animal is almost like a ghost. Very few and very lucky people have had the opportunity to have an encounter with this cat. I have been fortunate not only to see and photograph them but to hear their roar in the mating season. This sound is simple and simply chilling. It is what I call a synonym for the word ‘wild’.
I was also lucky to see how a jaguar hunted. Their strength and speed are just mind-blowing.”
