The practice of “Seva” has already been registered in the region of a dead bull and can increase the risk of Jaguar attacks
Military Police (PMA) investigate a possible Jaguar attack on the banks of the Miranda River, in the Taurus Dead Taurus region, in Pantanal Sul-Mato-Grosso.
The environmental military police are investigating the disappearance of a man, Jorginho, on the banks of the Pantanal Miranda River, suspected of Jaguar’s attack. Blood signs and traces were found on the spot. Experts say that Jaguar’s attacks are rare, but they can occur in certain situations, such as puppies women or because of the illegal Seva practice, which changes animal behavior. The case is waiting for specialist knowledge to be confirmed. The last attack in the region took place in August 2023, when a rural employee was attacked in Corumbá.
The suspect was created after the disappearance of a man known as Jorginho, a local employee. Blood and signs were found during fishing. Movies circulating in fishing groups show traces and indicate how the attack could happen.
Despite the severity of the case, experts say that Jaguar’s attacks are rare. According to a veterinary and doctoral student in the field of ecology and maintenance by UFM, Diego Vienna, this type of event is considered rare.
“These cases are rare, not only in pantanal, but in the entire area of Jaguar’s distribution, but they happen. Punctually and rarely, but they happen.”
Vienna states that you should wait for PMA knowledge and other forces to confirm what has actually happened. “Thanks to this information with these reports, it is better to understand the situation and from there technically answer to try to understand the situation.”
The vet warns social networks against the interaction of people and Jaguars as a way to promote environmental awareness for coexistence. Watch the movie below.
Hypotheses – Although the attacks are rare, the expert explains that there are situations that can facilitate contact between Jaguars and people. “Be a woman with a puppy, both men and a woman during copulation, as well as Seva points.”
Seva is a practice in which animals are offered food to attract them, usually for tourist purposes. The act is considered an environmental crime and may change the natural behavior of Jaguars.
“Usually, when Jaguar sees a man, it is not associated with our presence with food, but from the moment when this food is always provided by people, this approach usually happens more often.”
He also pointed out that the dead bull region already has the history of Seva points, which can be an important factor in investigation. “We have history there in the Taurus Dead region, on Rio Miranda, Rio Aquidauana, reports, and even PMA played in Seva Points last year, including. I don’t say that it was so [de seva]But technically we can say: that there are situations that favor the attack of the attack, “adds Vienna.
The expert regretted Pantanal and emphasized the importance of waiting for knowledge before any ending. “In any case, the mortality we live, and now let’s wait until the skill is even better.”
Vienna warns against the importance of preparing those who work in areas with Jaguars. “It is very important that fishing, inn, hotels are in Pantanal, and train anywhere.”
The last case registered in the region took place in August 2023, when a rural employee was attacked by Jaguar while handling cattle in Corumbá. He had serious injuries, but survived after the fire brigade saved.
