This drowning jaguar was saved: the animal gratefully hugged people like a domestic cat

Soldiers noticed a jaguar drowning in a flood and rushed to save him.

This story takes place in the Amazon jungle. Several soldiers of the Brazilian army noticed a jaguar drowning in a flood and rushed to save the unfortunate beast.

When they saw him, he was barely alive. However, people rushed into the seething streams and pulled the animal out of the water on their hands.

At that moment, they only thought about saving the jaguar, and not about their lives.

And the beast seemed to feel it, accepting humans as its closest friends.

After the rescue, it was decided to take the jaguar with them. He was too weak and exhausted, and leaving him in the jungle meant only one thing: certain death at the hands of hunters.

Local authorities, having learned about this story, allowed the animal to be left in the care of the Brazilian army. And now the powerful and beautiful jaguar, which was named Jikitaya, is surrounded by human care and love.

It’s a miracle that there are people willing to take risks to help someone in need.
