The photographs that he proposes in this slideshow are a sample of what makes his trademark: portraits of animals often threatened, on a black background which makes it possible to appreciate the subject in all its color and its splendor and to try to see its deep character there.
This first photograph by Pedro Jarque Krebs shows two jaguars, one spotted and the other black. The jaguar is a fearsome predator that has the bite the most powerful of those of the great felines current, in relation to its size (it can measure up to almost two meters in length). He hunts on land, in the trees and even in the water where it kills caimans breaking their necks. It lives in Central and South America and if it is difficult to observe a spotted jaguar in its natural environment, it is even more difficult to see a black jaguar as these are rare. The jaguar is a species Near Threatened according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), in particular due to the loss of its habitat and therefore the fragmentation of the populations.
