The animals were spotted by fishermen participating in a sports tournament at the location. The video footage shows these feline animals initially showing fear upon the approach of people, but they continue to swim in the lake. This clip quickly went viral on social media.
According to specialists, among the observed animals were an adult female and her cub. Spotted jaguars are known for their ability to swim well and cover significant distances in water.
The presence of these animals in this area may also indicate positive ecological conditions in the region, although additional factors are needed for a full assessment of the environmental quality.
