How is the region where the man was attacked

The dead bull region, where a 60-year-old man died after being attacked by a jaguar It is located in the municipality of Aquidauana, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The area is difficult to reach and is located approximately 150 kilometers from the city of Miranda.

Characterized by the wild nature, with dense vegetation and rich biodiversity, the region is an integral part of the South-Mato Grosso Pantanal biome. The municipality’s territorial area is 17,008.5 km², and of this total 75% is covered by the Pantanal.

A study by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) shows that the Pantanal is the Brazilian biome with the highest preserved species index. The region is a natural habitat of several animals, including jaguar and jaguar.

Researcher Heriberto Gimenes Junior, master in biology from the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), points out that the geography of the Pantanal region and a series of factors that include the high degree of conservation of the ecosystem favor the preservation and refuge of species.

According to the ICMBio’s Practical Guide for Coexistence, the jaguar can be found in humid forests such as the Amazon and the Atlantic Forest, Savanas such as the Cerrado and the Caatinga, and flooded areas such as the Pantanal.

Geography professor Fábio Cervezão explains that the isolated geography of dead bull contributes to environmental conservation, but also creates a kind of “demographic emptiness”, where nature predominates over urban nuclei. “It is an area where cattle commands, so turn and move the jaguar ends up attacking cattle, due to the advancement of the animal in this region,” he comments.
