A plucky bull managed to scare off two jaguars as they faced off on a narrow path in the forest.

Stunning footage shows how the Nelore bull advanced slowly but surely as it found the felines blocking its way.

Instead of playing it safe and turning around, the bull began to pick up speed and marched straight towards the big cats.

Remarkably, the carnivores decided not to pounce.

They disappeared into the bush as the brave bull broke into a jog.

The incredible footage was filmed on 19 May by biologist Paula Ojeda, who could be heard reacting in disbelief behind the camera.

Paula was leading a safari when she came across the surprising scene in a nature reserve in the Pantanal wetland in Miranda, Brazil.

The jaguar sits at the top of the food chain in the Pantanal, which, at more than 42 million acres, is the world’s largest tropical wetland.

Had the animals clashed, the jaguars – which have the strongest bite of all big cats – would have left the bull with little chance of survival.

Paula told local media: “The jaguars are Itapira (female) and Formoso (male).

“Itapira was one of the jaguars that had her paws burnt in the last wildfire, and after treatment, she was released back into the reserve.”

Experts believe the bull was dauntless and the jaguars placid due to habituation.

Habituation is the gradual desensitisation of an animal to a stimulus after repeated exposure to said stimulus.

It allows animals to avoid wasting energy by responding to repetitive harmless stimuli.

Paula told What’s The Jam: “I didn’t think they were going to attack the bull since they were mating, and I’d seen a similar encounter with other jaguars before.

“But the bull just carried on its way, and I was shocked that it actually charged at them!”

Nelores are a hardy breed of cattle originally from India, known for their distinctive hump, loose skin, and resistance to heat and parasites.

Widely raised in Brazil, they are especially valued for their lean meat and ability to thrive in tropical climates.

The Pantanal is one of the best places in the world to spot wild jaguars.

But the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires threaten the wetland’s wildlife.
