Exhausted jaguar drowning in river rescued in Colombia

This is the moment an extremely fortunate jaguar that was on the verge of drowning in the middle of a river was saved by some sailors who tied a rope to a log and threw it to the big cat so they could drag it to the shore.

The jaguar (Panthera onca) was rescued from the mouth of the Leon River which is located in the Turbo municipality of Colombia's Antioquia region and which drains into the Caribbean Sea, according to a statement by the Colombian Navy (ARC) that was released on November 15.
