Superb sighting, during my visit to Kabini in August of 2011, on the rainy day, I saw a tigeress ambushing chital hind on the middle of the road, both the prey and the predator were in air, when the guide yelled tiger-tiger and the herd that as crossing the road dispersed with cacophony of alarm call. It was so sudden that I could not capture the moment. Lastly, your narration "In the pantanal with jaguars" was absorbing. Thanks for sharing.
