When taking this photograph, it really struck me that there is a definate 'wildness' in the eyes of a Jaguar you just don't find with many animals in captivity, it is no surprise they are so revered in South America, as one of only two predators that actively stalk humans (the other being the polar bear), the local tribes wear masks of the back of their heads, as a Jaguar will only attack from behind.

This portrait comes double mounted in a granite/smooth white combination (granite is similar to this webpages backdrop), I find this enhances pencil work when framed.

You will be supporting the work of Elephant Nature Foundation in buying this portrait as I give 20% of profits from each print sold; run in Thailand the foundation takes in elephants that have had very hard lives and allow to get back to full fitness, before living out the rest of their lives in dignity. They also run a mobile veterinary service. For more details on all the work they do please follow the links on the right hand side, the parks are also open to scheduled visits, and even volunteer oppurtunities!
