Beautiful Book with Stellar Information
The book itself is a wonder and it details the lives of jaguars in the Northern Pantanal. What is remarkable are the observations and the family lineage details. This will help travellers who visit this region navigate the intricacies of the jaguar relationships. The best chapters are on the individuals like Mick and Ruth, the habitats, the prey items and the suggestions for the future. The images here are outstanding as we see these jaguars in every behavioral situation and in every scenario. We see them jumping out of trees, attacking giant caiman and caring for young cubs. This is a must have for any jaguar researcher or enthusiast.

Great book, unfortunate condition
The book itself is fantastic, only issue is half of the pages have moderate warping, as if it had been wet at some point.

This book is in many ways excellent. It is seriously let down by the quality of the images, and for a book at this price they should have been printed on much better quality paper. Most annoying are the number of typos and incorrect references to figures. Time after time I looked at a figure referred to in the text only to find it was either completely incorrect (such as being mixed up with other figures on the same page) or not much to do with the subject. I appreciate that the authors have used their own (or Southwild’s) names for the jaguars, but the jaguar ID project uses different names in many cases and surely should be the default. As a repeat visitor to the area and being familiar with many of the jaguars and their formal ID names, I found it confusing. There are also some inaccuracies in the table indicating the names given by different groups (for example Borro and Xando and Tore). One of the authors is an academic which makes the level of inaccuracy particularly surprising. Having said that I think this book is really very good, but could have been so much better.
