THE captured jaguar showed signs of weakness, being underweight . Veterinary examinations seek to identify possible health problems or disabilities that may have influenced the animal’s behavior. Jaguar was taken to the rehabilitation center in Campo Grande .
Jaguar behavior while in CRAS will also be observed to identify any atypical pattern.
Remember deadly attacks and “sightings”
Despite the capture of the animal in the same place where the body was found and of evidence such as footprints and images of cameras, the authorities maintain the investigation on the way to confirm that this is indeed the animal responsible for the attack.
The case is considered atypical, since jaguars usually avoid human presence and do not see humans as natural prey . One of the hypotheses for the unusual behavior of the animal is the possible habituation to the human presence due to the supply of foods for wild animals, practice known as “Ceva” and considered dangerous and environmental crime .
