The appearance of the jaguar closely resembles that
of the leopard, however the Jaguar is physically stronger.
In terms of actual size the Jaguar is only smaller than
lions and tigers.
Most big cats kill their prey by suffocation, however
the jaguar actually uses its powerful jaw to crush the
skull of its prey. It is not afraid to enter the water
in pursuit of its prey and usually makes its home near
a source of water. Jaguars do not hunt in pacts unlike
many of the other wild cats. |
