"Άγρια" ομορφιά! Wild beauty!


Μητρική στοργή!

Jaguars are the largest and most dangerous big cats in the Western Hemisphere. Peru's sprawling Manu National Park is ideal habitat for jaguars — thick rainforest with numerous streams and oxbow lakes where prey like deer gather.

Despite mankind's mastery of planet Earth, there are still an awful lot of creatures out there willing to kill (and even eat) you if given half a chance. There's also an ever-increasing number of adrenaline junkies bent on getting as close to these creatures as possible — and living to tell about it.
"Most African safari guides say that buffalo are the most dangerous animals, because they are easily startled, and their first instinct is to charge," says Matt Kareus of Colorado-based Natural Habitat Adventures, which organizes wildlife safaris all around the globe. "Most also say, though, that nothing is more lethal than getting between a hippo and its water at night. And many of our Alaska guides say moose are more dangerous than bears. A lot depends on circumstance and the likelihood of an encounter in the first place."
