UP CLOSE AND RARE: JAGUARS IN THE WILDS OF BRAZIL:
"60 MINUTES" CAMERAS GET LUCKY AND CAPTURE
NATURE'S MOST ELUSIVE BIG CAT - SUNDAY ON CBS
Jaguar conservationist Alan Rabinowitz, who has made the animals his life's work,
has gone months without seeing one. A wildlife photographer known for his jaguar
pictures went three months with nothing but paw prints to shoot.
But when 60 MINUTES went to Brazil in search of the most elusive of all of nature's
big cats, they came out of the jungle on cue for their close-ups, one even swimming
by the film crew's boat - a sight never encountered by Rabinowitz over decades of
studying jaguars.
The result is a Bob Simon story that takes viewers as close as humanly possible
to the nocturnal cats in the jungles of Brazil that will be broadcast on 60 MINUTES,
Sunday, Jan. 30 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
"Even though this is the densest, highest concentration of jaguars matching any
place on earth, there's still a limited number of jaguars here," says Rabinowitz,
who has studied the animals for 30 years and is the CEO of a new conservation group,
Panthera. He tells Simon that 60 MINUTES will have to get lucky.
Jaguars in the wild are much more difficult to find than other big cats like lions
or tigers. Just ask nature photographer Steve Winter. "I spent the first three
months in the jungle and got a big fat zero...I felt like my career was over," he
says.
Simon and the crew went out on the Cuiaba River at night with Rabinowitz and Winter
and had no trouble getting wonderful, close-up shots of the jaguars - luck Rabinowitz
marveled at. "Look at her, God, she's beautiful, oh man and then she looks right
at you," he says. "This one was a great sighting."
And then Rabinowitz saw a sight he had never seen in all his years. A jaguar swimming
right by their boats. "That was spectacular. I've never seen that before. What
luck, what unbelievable luck, just as it's swimming across," he tells Simon. "There
was no fear there. There was just pure curiosity. Like, 'What are you guys bothering
me about?'" says Rabinowitz. The same jaguar stuck around to be videotaped again
as it watched the crew on their boats from the shoreline. "Look at that, it's just
sitting there on the mound, yes, just sitting there it's phenomenal," says Rabinowitz.
