Incredibly Rare Species Caught on Camera

If you're in a boat on the Amazon River you might expect to see some fish swimming around. If you're really lucky, you might even spot a boto, also known as the Amazon River Dolphin. 

But what Carter Roberts of the World Wildlife Fund saw is even rarer than either of those. Roberts was lucky enough to catch a rare black jaguar going for a swim next to his boat.

The jaguar was seen in Juruena National Park, which was created by Brazil's Amazon Region Protected Areas Program — the largest tropical forest conservation project in history.
