Image info
After 26 minutes with no activity, Merlin approaches Pantaneira: snarling and sparring are the result. Image 3 of 29; elapsed time 27mins
The female Jaguar may be in oestrus but for at least 24 hours after first allowing herself to be mated she shows a lot of aggression to the male. This aggression then tends to settle down and she actually encourages the male to mate her.
