Aquidauana, Mato Grosso, Brazl/
He said cervo also rare, largely because of softors. Said cervo
selecte, had bad times during dry periods. Fazendario pro-
ject cervo now. Less flooding than years ago - unfavorable
to cervo. Hot weather, once pastados may lie in water. He has
hunted only w. dogs, in day. No killing at night. Rare for pursued
joguar to go upater. Jog. kills cattle by letting back of head. Eats
gado, canino, gurejado, caicatu -and lint. Seemed sympathetic to
wildlife. Said he had killed six joguirs. Told story - about 1910, man
killed pregnant & ; opened, had 2 cubs. One kept alive as pet-slept
on bed, guarded daughter. One when licked girls arm, she pulled
away & joguir bit her. Sent to zoo in Rio. One day shot at a
really
killed keeper. Moral - never really tame - inherently wild!
