No I haven't got the names from the jungle book wrong, this gorgeous black jaguar is indeed named Mowgli (as oppose to Bagheera, the black Indian leopard character).

This is Edinburgh zoo's male jaguar, and I have been trying to get a halfway decent shot of him, quite literally, for a year. This weekend he finally gave me something to work with! Worth the wait, he is so beautiful.

He and Ed. zoo's female jaguar Tina where due cubs this year but sadly Tina died suddenly from a brain tumor. So now he is all by himself, I don't know if they intend to get another female at the zoo with the panda and tigress arrivals to sort out.

hehe glad you like it, why have you been looking for a shot like this? =)

if you want to use it as a reference for a drawing or painting then thats fine as long as you send me a link to your finished work and credit me in the comment and link to the original deviation photo. I love seeing people's interpretations of my photos and have a fav gallery just for them!

if you want to use it for a manip I'm afraid thats not allowed however...
