A fisherman was attacked and killed by two jaguars who was camping. The animals supposedly a couple surprised the fisherman when he slept in the camp. The jaguars tore the tent and pulled the head. Upon return, the father who had gone to catch bait, still watched his son get torn by the wild beasts. Dad says he can do nothing because he had no firearm.

"It was the hardest time of my life to see my son be killed and not able to do anything," said assuring that "it was only one I might have succeeded, but there were two, if I insisted they killed me too," said father. The father says that animals dragged the lifeless body about 50 feet away. After the distress call, other fishermen attended, but it was too late he was dead. After attacking and killing jaguars ate the cheeks and the neck of the fisherman. The "state" of the body is horrible. The head, especially was totally disfigured. Also had claw marks on the legs and back of the victim. the fisherman says that this was not the first attack of jaguars in that region. Fishermen from other camps, he said, have also been attacked. He attributes the constant attacks of the beasts lack of food on site. "Three years ago had, caimans, capybaras and other critters. Now no longer exist and to survive the jaguars are attacking men.

Central Brazil: Report of Three Cases, with Observation of a
Death

Case 1: In May 2007, a 40-year-old male Aweti Indian
suffered a nonfatal attack while traveling through the
woods on the shores of Lake Ipawu in the Upper Xingu
Indian Reserve. The victim was traveling to a cassava
plantation early in the morning accompanied by 2 dogs.
The dogs attacked a jaguar lurking just off the trail, about
300 m from the village. Initially, the jaguar avoided
confrontation with the dogs but eventually attacked them
after dropping from the tree where it had been cornered.
Armed with a machete and a stick of wood, the victim
tried to help the dogs by fighting the jaguar. He saw that
his dogs had been killed and he tried to flee but he was
bitten immediately on the left shoulder. The victim
struck the animal in the head with the machete and the
jaguar released its grip. When he struck more blows with
the machete, the jaguar attacked from the front, scratching
the victim deeply on the chest and left forearm. At
that moment, another Indian and his dog came to the
victim’s aid. The jaguar attacked and killed the third dog
but the owner eventually drove the jaguar away and it
disappeared into the woods. The victim was taken back
to the village, where he was treated by the tribe’s shaman.
The shaman applied herbal preparations to the
injuries. He now only shows the scars of the scratches
caused by the attack.

Case 2: Around 6 PM on July 14, 2010, a 17-year-old
white male from Mateus Lemos (Minas Gerais State)
was attacked while returning from a fishing trip in Cáceres,
Mato Grosso State, in North Pantanal. His companions reported that a jaguar jumped out of a ravine onto
the boat and bit the victim on the right shoulder, tipping
him into the water. Shortly after, the jaguar surfaced in
the river with the victim’s head between its teeth. The
boat skipper then smashed an iron pipe into the jaguar
and the animal released the victim and escaped into the
ravine. The first responder on scene applied compressive
bandaging to the injuries of the scalp. En route to medical
care they encountered another boat that had a doctor
aboard; that doctor improved placement of the compressive
bandages, established venous access, and administered
intravenous saline solution, an antibiotic (cephalosporin),
an anti-inflammatory, and analgesics. He also
recommended the administration of rabies and tetanus
vaccinations.
The victim was admitted to a hospital about 8 hours
after the attack. Physical examination showed perforations
from the jaguar’s fangs (marked in the fractured
and extracted bone fragments of the skull) and facial,
right arm, and right back scratches, as well as perforations
to the victim’s body. He was diagnosed with cranial-
encephalic trauma, with brain and bone tissue loss
on the left side of the head (Figure 3). Surgeons removed
bone fragments and devitalized brain tissue, repaired the
dura mater, and sutured skin lesions with rigorous attention
to hemostasis of affected vessels. The victim survived
and currently has a memory deficit (traumatic
amnesia and aphasia) and awaits further surgery for
placement of a cranial acrylic prosthesis.



21year-old fisherman from Cáceres (Mato
Grosso State) was attacked in a remote area of Cáceres
county. The attack occurred around 7: 30 PM on June 24,
2008, in a place known as “Pacu Gordo” on the banks of
the Paraguay River near Taiamã Nature Reserve. It is an
open site, measuring about 25 m wide and 10 m deep,
surrounded by native vegetation with poor natural lighting,
requiring the use of open fire and artificial lighting
so that fishermen can spend the night. The victim was
sleeping in a tent with the entrance closed. The animal
entered the tent and inflicted bites to the posterior cervical
region and head of the fisherman (bilaterally, with
tissue and bone loss) as well as claw scratches and
punctures, especially in the pectoral region and the back
of the shoulders and limbs. Death was attributed to high
cervical transection of the spinal cord. The body was
dragged approximately 60 m into the woods and recovered
by fishermen who responded to a radio warning
from the victim’s father. The attack was classified as
predatory. Necropsy, performed by one of the authors
(MFCN), described the following: The body had comminuted
fractures (several fragments) associated with
traumatic dislocation of the cervical spine, with severe spinal cord injury, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, tissue
loss, and multiple lesions from mixed action (perforations,
cuts, and contusions) directed to the posterior
regions of the cervical spine. There were significant
vascular-nerve cervical lesions (arteries, veins, and
nerves) and traumatic brain injury with fracture and
tearing of part of the left hemicranium and perforations
and scratches from claws on various parts of the body

Jaguar Kills Fisherman on Colombia’s Caribbean Coast



BOGOTA – A fisherman was killed by a jaguar in a rural area outside Turbo, a city in northern Colombia, in the second attack of this kind in the area since April, media reports said.

Matias Escarpeta, who was originally from the city of Quibdo in Choco province but lived in Turbo, was killed by the big cat on Thursday, the El Colombiano newspaper reported.

Escarpeta’s body was taken to the morgue in Turbo on Friday, the newspaper said.

Escarpeta was attacked and killed while checking his nets in Bocas del Atrato, a village on the Gulf of Uraba, police said.

Jaguars are common in the area and have managed to survive even though palm plantations have destroyed their natural habitat.

A jaguar killed a heavy machine operator in Bocas del Atrato in April.

The case has been referred to the Uraba Public Development Corporation, or Corpouraba, the agency responsible for protecting the area’s wildlife and plants, in the hopes that it can prevent residents from hunting the jaguar, police said.

Some graphic pictures. Taipan, these are rare attacks on humans, right?

Jaguars attack people far less frequently than other pantherines, but the results are just as gruesome.

Theodore Roosevelt recounted a story of Jaguar attack, one in which a jaguar stalked a campsite for three nights, then proceeded to enter a tent, grab a man and drag him out, his friends saved him before it dragged him off.

Charles Darwin told of a story about a group of woodcutters who were in a boat going down a river at night when a jaguar leaped from the bank, landed in the boat and attacked the first man it saw, the mans friends chased it off before it could kill him, but he permanently lost the use of his arm.

Gordon Grice also states that over the years as conflict between jaguars and cattle ranchers increases there has been an increase in jaguar attacks, one rancher who shot a jaguar followed it into the undergrowth to finish it off, were he was attacked and killed.
