Jaguar is an agile animal, a loner. It stays and survives alone. A big cat family member like tiger and Puma. It is yellow and tan in colour, and from reddish brown to black. There are solid spots on its hide and the head is black. It is a carnivorous animal, lives on eating grazing animals. Jaguar plays an important role in prayer among indigenous people, plays the character role in stories and songs.
Yet Jaguars are eliminated from the USA. They live on deer, snakes, crocodile, and frog, fish anything they can catch. Scientists have tried to keep 15,000 jaguars of protecting 80 to 120 cats in the mountains of Sonora, Mexico border. The Jaguar used to roam about from Argentina to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It makes its home in forests, rainforests, swamps and pampas grasslands.
They are solitary animals, live and hunt alone except mating time. The male protects its home and females from other males. The female gives birth to 1-4 kittens. The kittens stay with its mother for 1-1.5 years. The jaguar hunts on the ground and sometimes it jumps from the tree to get its prey. It has a powerful jaw, which kills its prey and the sharp teeth, tears it apart.
It kills with one crushing bite to the skull of its prey. It swims in the water, in streams or pools and plays and baths even catches fish.
Jaguars roar, which sounds like a deep cough. Actually, they are swift to give deathly blows to their prey. After the deathly blow, it crushes the skull of its prey and sometimes it jumps upon its prey from the tree. It does not have the habit of surviving locality. That is why it is not kept in the zoo.
