The Macal River Valley in Belize is home to three-toed tapirs, elusive jaguars, and a rare subspecies of scarlet macaw. |
The forest is also home to tigers, jaguars, leopards, langur, black gibbon, Malaysian bears, pheasants, and crested arguses. |
Like the panthers, and lion, and jaguars, there are huskies, beagles, greyhounds, danes, rottweiler, and a few others. |
At night we sleep in hammocks strung between two trees on the bank, and keep our fire lit, to keep jaguars and other animals away. |
Both leopards and jaguars have a similar brownish yellow base fur colour, which is distinctively marked with dark rosette markings. |
We had reached Mexico's Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, home to jaguarundis, ocelots, margays, pumas, and jaguars. |
