After reading most of the comments on this page, can't help but to be annoyed with some of the remarks regarding this documentary.
Some of the talent in the world usually come from people who did not "fit" in society or even had a handicap, Van Gogh, Da Vinci, or who where misunderstoon, Marlon Brando, Einstein, to name a few; some of the best music can come from places where there is poverty or troubled times.
I think Life is drama and not just mere facts. The people who bring us information have lives too. If we really care about the Jaguar, why not care about the people who are bringing this information to us.
I think an attempt to discredit this biologist because of his childhood is a mistake. Children and grown-ups can be extremely cruel to others who are not like everyone else. Like the Jaguar, who is misunderstood so was he... p.s. We are not just enjoying a right to live, we are consuming this planet with out in mind that - it's like...you're at a party and you eat all of the cake - someone has to tell u, hey, the cake's for everyone...

hey I enjoyed this video. it was relaxing, helped clear my mind of stress... and reminded me of the need to actually have goals in life and to be intensly focused on them.i think some commenters are actually missing the point... the title is "In Search of Jaquars". The documentary wasn't really intended to be about Jaquars as much as some commenters think it should have been. it was about the "search"--hence the focus on the people (the personalities dedicated to doing the searching) more than the Jaquar itself. it was visually beautiful and well narrated--low key, not distracting--allowing you a sense of actually being there). another supurb job by National Geographic.

The opening narration is cheesier than a Saturday-morning cartoon from the'80's and I regret to inform you that it does not get better. Can we cut the melodrama and just see some nature program, please?The graphic showing the proposed jaguar corridor spreads over the whole continent, blotting out human settlements. 1. This is probably not what the conservationists intend and 2. it is going to really freak people out.

Wasn't expecting it, but i enjoyed seeing just who is the kind of person that devotes their life to studying jaguars. I didn't find the guy to be any more bitter than most of us. He just relates to jaguars better than humans because of his childhood isolation and wants to keep the fulfillment of a dream. Seeing anyone who is passionate about helping another living creature is inspiring and i found the guy to be genuine. Yes human expansion is inevitable, but isn't the earth more enjoyable knowing we share it with other fascinating life forms. If only we could preserve a little bit more of the "wild"... So this really was a good little
"bio"- documentary...pun intended

I would have to say this "documentary" belongs more on the Biography channel than on National Geographic. It has little to do with jaguars but much to do with a very bitter man that thinks that humans are the cause of all the world's problems. I agree, some do, but we have a right to live on this earth too.

Yeah, right. I have to agree with most of the posts here. I figured this would be a great documentary about Jaguars... no, it was a great documentary about some guy who likes jaguars. If I wanted that, I'd take a biology class next year. Tools.

G M, the "main scientist" has his degrees and definitely has experience. go f yourself ya self-righteous jerk.i thought the documentary could have been more about jaguars and less about the people.
