The jaguar that attacked home Jorge Ávalo, 60, must be destined for a fauna-maintaining institution prepared to receive it and will be incorporated into the Population Management Program, coordinated by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation.
The fate of the animal should be decided under the program that seeks to conserve the species in all Brazilian biomes.
Following the capture of the feline by the Military Environmental Police (PMA) last Thursday (24), in the Pantanal, the jaguar was taken to the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center (CRAS), in Campo Grande (MS). On site, veterinarians found that the animal, a 94 kg male, was 26 kg below the average weight of the species and had committed organs.
According to professor and researcher Gediendson Araújo, specialist in large animals at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), It is not common for a jaguar of this size to be so lean . This condition raised suspicions that the animal’s health could have contributed to the attack.
After recovery, the animal should not return to the Mata region.
Are jaguar attacks common?
The ICMBio Research Center team (Cenap) reported that jaguar attacks against humans are extremely rare and the lethal, virtually nonexistent. To date, only two cases have been officially confirmed in Brazil. According to the institution, occurrences may be sub -notified, being described in studies other cases attested by experts, but without official inquiries in loco.
“Anyway, certain situations, especially those involving habituation, such as in this incident, can increase the chances of accidents. This habit poses a risk to local residents and visitors, as jaguars lose the fear of human presence,” said Cenap.

What we know about the case of the Homemade Devorated by jaguar in MS
How is the region where the man was attacked
The dead Taurus region, where a 60-year-old man died after being attacked by a jaguar, is located in the municipality of Aquidauana, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The area is difficult to reach and is about 150 kilometers from the city of Miranda.
Characterized by the wild nature, with dense vegetation and rich biodiversity, the region is an integral part of the South-Mato Grosso Pantanal biome. The municipality’s territorial area is 17,008.5 km², and of this total 75% is covered by the Pantanal.
A study by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) shows that the Pantanal is the Brazilian biome with the highest preserved species index. The region is a natural habitat of several animals, including jaguar and jaguar.
Researcher Heriberto Gimenes Junior, master in biology from the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), points out that the geography of the Pantanal region and a series of factors that include the high degree of conservation of the ecosystem favor the preservation and refuge of species.
