"Everything has its jaguar"

En een Jaguar is hier dan niet de chique auto, dit gezegde verwijst naar de grote katachtige uit Zuid-Amerika.
Eva Paulsen probeerde te ontdekken waarom de inheemse bevolking van de kleine Antillen toch zoveel dieren afbeelden op hun potten en schalen. En hoe het kan dat bepaalde dieren VEEL vaker afgebeeld worden dan anderen? Wat zegt dat over de mensen die ze 2000 jaar geleden boetseerden?
Om daarachter te komen reisde ze onder andere naar Suriname om daar midden in de jungle op zoek te gaan naar een oude verhalenverteller. Eva zal ons proberen uit te leggen wat ze met dat indiaanse gezegde bedoelt, alles en iedereen heeft zijn Jaguar...
