Amazon Forest Cam films a wild jaguar taking pictures of himself.
For centuries, jaguars living deep in the jungles of South America have been revered as symbols of majesty, prowling through dense forest with a kingly air of grace and dignity.
But, as it turns out, when they think no one is watching, that can all go out the window in a hurry.
Brazil’s Mamirauá Institute recently released some revealing footage of a jaguar captured on a pair of camera traps placed in an Amazon nature preserve. The big cat can be seen curiously investigating the imaging device as it snaps a few up-close self-portraits.
Afterward, the typically regal jaguar rolls around a bit in front of the camera, clearly without a care in the world.
But it doesn’t end there. Later on, during the day, what looks to be the same jaguar returns to take a few more shameless selfies.
There’s no doubt about it — the camera loves him. And the feeling appears to be mutual.
