The Pantanal Wetlands are Brazil's most mysterious wilderness land, covered by grasslands for half the year. The green grass grew wildly, gradually withering yellow in the hot sun, and finally, the wildfire often swept across the grassland with the help of the wind, leaving a vast expanse of ashes. Then came the rainy season, which lasted for the same six months, and the grass ash melted into the soil, becoming the natural nourishment of the plain, and the torrential rain fell down, and together with the flooding river, it flooded the plain land and formed a vast wetland.

Mato Grosso National Park is part of this wetland. After the rainy season began, the original endless grasslands were covered with swamps, and only the slightly higher ground was spared. The animals that escaped the fire were concentrated on the plateau land and began the mission of passing on to future generations, and the Jaguar, the large predator of the South American rat, was no exception. After more than three months of good times, the female jaguar gave birth to a small puppy that played in the trees, the most lively and cheerful time of the year in the barren Great Plains.

Jaguars are solitary animals, with a single hunting range of up to 150 square kilometers, and they whistle their feet on the branches of the trees during the day. Just like the myth describes.

A jaguar spotted a lone swamp deer, its bright red body salivating in the night. The jaguar slowly approached him, suddenly leaping high and galloping toward the swamp deer. Panicked swamp deer, fleeing in panic. The jaguar easily caught up, and he jumped up and threw the swamp deer to the ground. The 5-centimeter-long insistence of opening his blood basin could be embedded deep into the flesh, directly opening the skull of the prey, and the jaguar held it firmly, and the teeth were always biting on the top of the swamp deer's head.
