In Brazil’s Pantanal, the world’s biggest wetland and home of the world’s biggest jaguars, wildlife warden Oélio Falcão de Arruda roars into a bucket to call a nearby male. Traditional hunting techniques are key tools for
studying the secretive cats, whose habitat stretches from northern Mexico to northern Argentina.

Special Equipment or Comments:
I had attempted to photograph Falcão jaguar-calling on a previous trip. But his head in a bucket did not read very well. So I decided to put my normal small flash inside the bucket in order to light the inside of the bucket and his face.
