idk about the OP but i do and dont have as much animals around
this fall i fed the deers took some nice pictures but they to big to post here
Stunning! Never knew they crushed the skull of their prey!
They have the strongest bite of any cat…about twice the force of a tiger.
No the third strongest, the bite force of lions and tigers is stronger.
Wow, I heard wrong. Just looked it up.
It’s pound for pound the strongest, but it’s a smaller animal than lions and tigers.
I just read it too, you sparked my interest in the jaguar!
Can you perhaps suggest a good documentary about the specie?
I got interested in them when I started travelling to Central and South America. I’ve read and watched a bunch of stuff on them…most were just 5-10 minutes section in a wildlife show. There’s lots of interesting stuff on Youtube and the last one I watched was Secret Brazil or Wild Brazil.
Thanks! Very interesting how jaguars kill and that they have canine teeth!
Canine teeth are common in most mammals, including humans.
Thanks for pointing that out i was unaware of it!
That is an amazing animal. I’m a wildlife documentary junky. The Jag is one of the most interesting sub-species of cat. They are super intelligent and stealthy. That’s a great combination for a predator. Water doesn’t faze them in the least little bit and (for an amazing fact) they prey on Caimans for crying out loud!! That takes one heck of a cat to take on a lizard that can reach up to 4 ft (1.2 m) long and weigh up to 10 lb (4.5 kg). In water, it’s preferred environment!
Shoot man! I weigh 265 lbs and I don’t want to mess around with one!
They like bird seed and Cheetos.
They get a bad rap. The babies will bluff charge, but the adults are completely harmless.
Afraid I wouldn’t go as far as to say harmless. Every had your dog startle one that’s hiding under a bush? Don’t underestimate the Polecat.
I’ve scooted them out of my garage with a broom. As long as they don’t feel threatened, they never bother us. They will spray each other though, which makes no sense to me.
That’s a nice deterrence for door to door salespeople or politicians.
I may have to get me a few. lol
I’ve had the babies trying to spray me before but they don’t have the spray when tiny. They’re cute and all but like Doug mentioned I wouldn’t call them harmless. My buddy from the Army is a K9 officer and had his dog chase one from the garage into his house. It sprayed inside the house and it cost a bunch of money to get the carpet replaced and smell out. Just like most wild things they’re best observed from a distance in my opinion.
