The videography in this documentary is fantastic. National Geographic has outdone itself with this film.

Jaguars are truly the kings of the jungle. They must be the strongest & most fierce of the big cats rivaled in strength & fierocity only by the leopards of Africa & a few in the Middle Eas. Lions are in a class of their own & cannot be compared to the lighter weight big cats. Jaguars are super cats of South America. They are like leopards on steroids. It's impossible to guess how strong a jaguar truly is. I have seen a jaguar that swam against the current of the Amazon River for 2+ hours on a desperate hunt for prey. The cat hadn't fed in at least a week so it was on the verge of starving yet it had the will, strength & stamina to carry on ultimately making a kill in order to survive. It is mind boggling the strength it took to swim for 2+ hours against a strong current. Then, still have the strength to hunt down & kill a large Black caiman paralysing it with one bite to its skull then, haul its heavy body up a steep bank & into the judgle where it could feed in peace.

The will & endurance it takes for wild animals to survive & thrive in the respective environments in which they live is truly beyond the comprehension of our puny human brains. Anyone who's ever handled even a small wild animal can atest to their incredible & major strength compared to domestic animals.

Jaguars truly are the badasses of the big cat world. Brutal & beautiful predators that have earned the right to live undisturbed & free from fear. They must remain a protected species & ppl who kill them for any reason should be prosecuted & convicted to serve plenty of time in prison.
Ranchers are compensated for any livestock jaguars may kill. The ranchers must not retaliate against a jaguar simply doing what it must to survive in an incredibly harsh world. Humans brought cattle into areas where jaguars live & hunt so, humans are responsible if cattle are killed by jaguars. The jaguar is just doing what it is programmed to do in order to survive in a really brutal environment.

[chevydg]

One of the best documentaries I've seen in a while

[suheelahmadnajar]

it was just more than a adventurous Hollywood movie ..Art of cinematography was really amazing...background music, voice, art of producing everything was matched perfectly...

[CCTH-lpzj]

The female jaguar takedown of that black caiman was one of the most awesome things I’ve seen in my 40 something years of watching these nature documentaries. Incredible power

[jnielsen]

Always respect the power and hunting prowess of the Cat species...the true king of the Jungle is the Jaguar hands down, took that 9ft Caymen like it was nothing, in it's own element too

[LionClashChronicles]

Your talent for capturing the untamed spirit of the natural world is unparalleled.

[joesanchez]

National Geographic thanks for all the excellent programs and the people who bring these great programs

[kokobean]

Releasing more spores... collecting more ants... releasing more spores... collecting more ants... more ants... more ants... more ants

[DieNibelungenliad]

What an awesome documentary! I can see why our forefathers long ago thought the Gods were in the Heavens amidt the clouds, given the strong winds, the beautiful scene, the lightning and thunder, the heavy rain, and the darkening of the sky. Zeus and Thor are the two I can name off the top of my head

[georgecarberry]

Since photographers are using drones they are creating some of the most astonishing video & photos.

[D.P.R.]

A truly beautiful piece of art, calms me beyond. Thank you NatGeo ❤
