My first decent shot of the elusive Jaguar

This may well be another check box on my bucket list - since I cannot afford a trip to South/Central America ! - Even in captivity, getting a decent shot of one has been quite a challenge for me - and others I am sure ! But, with persistence comes luck ! 
Shot at the Palm Beach Zoo.
This is a female that was orphaned by poachers as a kitten - now living the good life at P.B. Zoo 8-)
Canon 80D and Canon 70-300 nano from bodypod through fencing......1/200, f5.6, ISO 400, shot as JPEG and PP in Elements 9 on my XP computer with a small cropping.

Three meals a day, and a cave for shelter. What more could one ask for? Great shot well taken.
It's utterly tack sharp if you click into Download and then Click again on the image for real full size. Look at those eyes, whiskers and hair on the forearm.

Nice photo! When I was in grad school, i used to visit the Pautucket/Providence RI zoo with my Fujica ST 801. The big Siberian tiger and male lion were pretty tolerant of my photographing them. However, the fully grown Jaguar looked at me like he wanted to attack me. DrJ
