• BLAAACKKK JAGUAAAARRRR ALERRRT! 🚨😱🐆🇨🇷   EXTREMELY RARE FOOTAGE OF A BLACK JAGUAR IN THE WILD! AND IT HAPPENED JUST IN FRONT OF OUR CAMERA!!!! SHARE THIS NEWS TO THE WORLD!!! 🐆💥🖤‼️ If detecting a normal jaguar is already something very complicated, a black jaguar (known as melanistic jaguar) is almost impossible, but we made it! This jaguar is called Negro and it is the second time we detect him through ou camera traps network! This is for sure one of the MOST INSANE AND UNIQUE FOOTAGE we got since we started this project! 🐆🖤💣‼️ But why is he black? One hypothesis is that this genetic characteristic is mainly restricted to individuals inhabiting higher altitudes, such as the Talamanca mountain range in Costa Rica, where the climate is much colder than in lowland forests. Their black coloration would allow them to absorb more light and retain more heat. It would also enable the black jaguar to better camouflage itself in the darkness of these dense forests, often shrouded in mist, providing them with an advantage for hunting. It is estimated that only 6% of the jaguars are black and throughout their range, these mysterious felines have fueled various legends and rumors since ancient times. Contrary to popular belief, the black panther is not a separate species. Melanistic jaguars and leopards are the ones that are commonly known as black panthers. Just to be clear, I will not reveal the exact location, just keep in mind it is occuring on the Cordillera de Talamanca - Costa Rica ✌🏼 Thanks @growjungles for sponsoring this camera trap! 💪🏼🎥🐆  Follow the project @ticoswildstudio and share to the world, jaguars (and all other wildcats!) need us to be their voice! 📸🐆🌴🇨🇷 ➰ #pantheraonca #jaguar #blackjaguar #blackpanther #melanistic #panteranegra #onçapintada #pumaconcolor #wildcat #bigcat #animalphotography #animaloftheday #endageredspecies #wildlifephotographer #wildlifephotography #wildlifeaddicts #naturelife #cameratrapping #cameratrap #trailcam #neverstopexploring #discoverwildlife #jungle #tropicalforest #rainforest #thisiscostarica #corcovadonationalpark #osapeninsula #costarica #naturabrasil
