14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Swimming Jaguar

When i was planning my travel to the Amzon jungle in Peru - along Tambopata river, the last thing in my mind was spotting a jaguar. The researchers rightly said that I would be extremely lucky to see one. But seeing one swimming in the river was a fascinating sight. Very quickly she got out of the water and without a glance towards us it sped away.
