Rare Pantanal Footage Captures Jaguar–Anaconda Clash and Deer Chase

Overview

• Biologist and safari guide Bruno Sartori filmed a jaguar pursuing a marsh deer at Fazenda Caiman in Miranda, Mato Grosso do Sul, where NGO Onçafari is based, according to G1.
• Photographer and biologist Fabiano Oliveira documented the female jaguar known as Amber, also called Medrosa, with an anaconda coiled around her snout during a struggle in the Encontro das Águas State Park, reported by O Globo and G1.
• Oliveira’s images from October show Amber resisting the constriction and overpowering the snake, and she was later observed feeding on the anaconda after a rainstorm, G1 reported.
• Both records were posted to social media and quickly drew wide attention for capturing behavior that usually unfolds too fast or out of sight in dense vegetation.
• Expert context in the coverage notes Pantanal jaguars rank among the largest worldwide, with males reaching about 150 kg, which underscores their capacity to take on large prey.
