Jaguar that attacked homemade: know where a feline is being monitored

The jaguar pointed out as responsible for attacking a caretaker in the interior of Mato Grosso do Sul, is being monitored by the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center (CRAS), in Campo Grande, capital of Mato Grosso do Sul, where he undergoes tests and veterinary follow -up.

The jaguar underwent health procedures, such as blood collection and feces for the analysis and conduct of imaging exams. The feline is being watched by a 24 -hour medical team.

According to Veterinary Bulletin released by the government of Mato Grosso do Sul, the jaguar is dehydrated and underweight. The animal also has liver, kidney and gastrointestinal changes.

After recovery, the animal should not return to the Mata region of Mato Grosso do Sul, where it was captured on Thursday (24). When recovering, the feline must be transferred to a definitive or provisional enclosure.

In a note to CNN the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) said future referrals will be discussed by the State Secretariat of Environment, Development, Science, Technology and Innovation (Semadesc) in conjunction with the Institute.

Case

The 60-year-old homemade Jorge Aval was attacked and killed by a jaguar in the Mata de Taurus Dead (MS) region, about 230 km from Campo Grande. He was killed on Monday (21) and his body was located on Tuesday (22).

Jorge was attacked while trying to collect honey on a deck near the woods last Monday (21). Residents of the region report that the attack was suddenly and that a man who located the victim found blood marks and traces of the animal’s presence.

The victim’s remains were found following the trails left by the animal in the woods. The body was dragged by the jaguar for more than 50 meters when the agents arrived at the scene.

The feline would only have retreated after being frightened by gun shots. The case remains under investigation and, according to the authorities, are considered hypotheses such as food shortages, defensive behavior, reproductive period of the animal or some involuntary attitude of the victim for the motivation of the attack.
