Reporter is 'attacked' by a baby jaguar on air and jokes: 'Very calm'

Shortly after, the male cub jumped on the vet, tangled himself in her hair and grabbed the reporter's hand. "They just ate a little fish, right? That's why they're so calm," joked Rômulo. "Yes, imagine if they weren't," replied the vet.

The anchor melted over the felines drinking their bottles. "Oh, guys, what about this scene now? How do we play the newspaper? It's taking 'tetê'. [...] Look, I'm going to be slaughtered if I don't play this newspaper. Cute, cute, nice thing", said Simonato when ending the live link.

On social media, Rômulo joked about the cub's "attack" and posted photos with the animals. "I was attacked by a jaguar! Look closely at the thug's face. Don't worry, everything is fine!" he wrote on Instagram.

Colleagues and followers also reacted to the unusual scenes. "Dude, did you put it in your backpack? We'll wait for you in the newsroom tomorrow. Hugs," joked journalist Tiago Scheuer. "The crook has the cutest face in the entire galaxy. Aww, so cute," commented a follower.
