Jungle Cat

1960 · 69 min

A gentle, unhurried wildlife portrait that wanders the jungle at an easy pace, more curious than thrilling.

Directed by

Genres
Documentary, Family
Starring
Winston Hibler
Overview
This final True-Life Adventure would also appear to be one of the best, as we go into the South American jungle to observe the jaguar. Jungle Cat is more intimate than its kin, allowing individual animal characters to be developed. Central to the cast is a pair of jaguars (one ebony), whose fighting leads to love and, not long after, two babies (one resembling each parent).
