NATURE: Jaguar Adventure With Nigel Marven
HALFWAY through this exhilarating new series, Nigel Marven finally gets the footage he has been waiting for in the form of three encounters with jaguars in 24 hours.
The intrepid nature-watcher is in Brazil tracking the wildlife that inhabits the Pantanal, the world’s biggest wetland and home to the largest population of jaguars.
But his attempts to film these elusive creatures have proved tricky.
Tonight, though, Marven strikes lucky when he receives the news he has been waiting for – a jaguar (left) has been spotted lurking on a riverbank.
A high-speed dash takes him and his team to the magnificent creature.
As Marven puts it excitedly: “Getting to see this jaguar is like winning the National Lottery twice in one day.”
