The jaguar rescued with serious injuries from the fires in the Pantanal was released on Tuesday (20) in the Porto Jofre region, in Poconé (MT), the same place where it was rescued in September. He returned to his habitat after treatment, at the Institute for the Preservation and Defense of Felidae of the Endangered Brazilian Wild Fauna (Nex), in Corumbá de Goiás (GO).
Daring, because the male jaguar was baptized during treatment, he was rescued on the 17th of last month, with third degree burns and other health problems from having inhaled a lot of smoke. He was also severely dehydrated with possible kidney problems.
For transport, the jaguar was anesthetized and received a GPS monitoring collar to assess readjustment upon return home.
She was transported to Porto Jofre-Pantanal by car and then by boat to the place where she was rescued.
A video made by Fernando Torquato, from the Panthera Institute, shows boldness coming out of the shipping box. Once the door of the box is opened, the animal stays still for a while while observing the area. He then quietly puts the box down, but as soon as it is free, he runs into the forest.

At the Institute for the Preservation and Defense of Wild Felines in Extinction Processes in Brazil (Nex), the animal underwent ozone treatment and laser therapy and stem cells. The applications are made at the points where there are injuries caused by fire to accelerate healing and regenerate burned tissue.
The jaguar remained in a reserved area, without contact with humans.

After the rescue, she was transferred by helicopter to the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT). Three days later, after receiving the first dressings, she was sent to Goiás, where she spent more than a month. The trip lasted over 13 hours and was accompanied by a veterinarian.
The animal returned to Mato Grosso on Monday (19).
