Happy Caturday!!!

Jaguar hunting along the riverbank of the Cuiaba River in the early morning.   

Jaguars are the third largest of the four big cats. It has a sturdy build and usually weights between 125 and 200 pounds. It can reach up to six feet long and stand at about 2 and half feet at the shoulder. Its coat has a tawny brown base and is covered with black rosette spots.

Jaguars will either crush and suffocate and victim or bite straight through his skull. It prefers to stalk and eventually ambush its prey rather than chase it. Then it pounces from a prey’s blind spot. After the kill, jaguars prefer to drag their meal to a secluded spot to eat. They are carnivores but will eat almost any kind of meat.

Leopards and jaguars are both big cats that are similar in appearance. Leopards live in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East while jaguars live in South and Central America. Jaguars are larger and stockier than leopards.

Jaguars can kill their prey by cracking their skulls while leopards kill with a suffocating bite.- Wikipedia
