Nature & Animals Injured jaguar swims up to boat and asks for help

[Takes Two To Tango]

How intelligent is that Jaguar? Doing a calculated risk in thinking humans will help it.

I guess it pretty much had no choice, he or she would be done for, if it didn't get help.

Awesome video. I'm glad the Jaguar survived. Beautiful markings.

It just happened in Brazil about a week ago.

"The jaguar was shot and had more than 30 lead pellets in his head. He spend 8 hours swimming trying to cross the river when he was rescued. The veterinarians removed part of the pellets and the animal was hospitalized. Once recovered, he will return to the forest."

I like the one where the otter swims on to a boat seconds before and orca grabs it and they take it to safety. As it cries for its baby, who the orca got

The last Jaguar I saw with that much drive to stay alive was this one:

Jaguar was in shock , it grabbed onto anything it could out of instinct , in no way was it " looking for help from humans " . Humans blasted it in the head with a shotgun , in its right mind it would seek to get away .

It may be blind in the right eye from the gunshot , if it recovers and returned to the wild it will be less likely to be a successful hunter and much more likely to starve to death , it may turn to livestock and even humans to eat .

- - - where I live fisherman shoot sea lions , seals and even sea otters , pretty common to find them washed up on the beach dead with massive head wounds sometimes they are severely wounded and take days to die

They shoot them just for fun? I assume this is in America?
