It’s amazing how well the Jaguars’ camouflage works! If you squint, the cat nearly disappears. This would be great in B&W to show this. Looks like you had a great time.

I too like how this image demonstrates the effective camouflage of the jaguars speckled fur mixed with the speckled light on the vegetation.

I agree with what has already been said about the excellent camouflage provided by the patterned coat, just perfect for the riverbank undergrowth in their natural habitat. Lovely image, Jake, and you're getting a nice variety in your sightings of these beautiful cats!
