Wouldn't like to be inbetween those jaws that's for sure. Recently I went to the Berlin zoo and saw some jags, absolutely beautiful and large animals, larger than expected. Its yawn sent a shiver down my spine.

It's still the only big cat I haven't seen in person!
I remember thinking the same thing just seeing a leopard for the first time, a jag would blow me away I'm sure. Lions and tigers are different, you already expect "big" when you see them, it's the smaller "big cats" that always catch me by surprise.
Leopards, snow leopards, Cougars and I'm sure jags as well.

Amazing animal which we could lose if we continue on the route we are taking.

predation on a loggerhead sea turtle
"The loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta (Linnaeus,
1758) is considered a highly migratory species,
distributed in tropical, subtropical and temperate waters
(Bolten and Witherington, 2003; Wallace et al., 2010).
It is categorized as a vulnerable species by the IUCN
Red List, with the main threats being fisheries bycatch,
coastal development, commercial exploitation (e.g.
consumption of eggs), human disturbance (e.g. coastal
lighting) and climate change (Casale and Tucker, 2015).
However, the relative importance of these threats may
vary throughout the geographic distribution of the
species.
In Costa Rica sporadic nesting has been recorded
along the Caribbean coast (Piniak and Eckert, 2011)
including Pacuare, Playa Norte and Tortuguero beaches
(L. Fonseca, pers. comm.). Tortuguero beach hosts a
small population of loggerheads, characterized by very
low numbers of females nesting sporadically throughout
the year (Sea Turtle Conservancy, pers. comm.). At this
site, jaguar Panthera onca (Linnaeus, 1758) predation
upon nesting females could represent an additional
threat for this species, as predation has been documented
previously on the green turtle (Chelonia mydas Linnaeus,
1758), the leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea Vandelli,
1761) and the hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata
Linnaeus, 1766) (Arroyo-Arce and Salom-Pérez, 2015).
Herein, we present the first documented record of the
predation of a loggerhead by a jaguar in Tortuguero
National Park, Costa Rica.
Tortuguero National Park is located on the northeastern
Caribbean coast of Costa Rica (10o
32’28’’ N - 83o
30’08’’
W). The park encompasses approximately 29 km of
coastline, which extends from the Jalova River mouth
in the South, to the Tortuguero River mouth in the
North. The beach is bordered by Tropical Wet Forest
(Holdridge, 1969). Elevation ranges from zero to 311 m
above sea level. Average temperatures ranges from 25
to 30o
C, with a mean annual precipitation of 6,000 mm
(Bermúdez and Hernández, 2004).
Jaguar predation on marine turtles was incidentally
recorded at Tortuguero beach since 1956 by the Sea
Turtle Conservancy (Troëng, 2000), during their
long-term turtle monitoring activities. However, in
2005 a systematic study was established by Global
Vision International, who then entered into partnership
with Coastal Jaguar Conservation in 2012, to further
investigate this predator-prey interaction. Both study
teams carried out weekly surveys along the beach to
record the number of predated turtles. Jaguar predation
was assumed upon the observation of unequivocal cues
(e.g. bite marks and puncture wounds on the skull or
neck, dragging evidence, jaguar tracks). For each jaguar
predation event, the marine turtle species and coordinates
were recorded. For a more detailed description of the
methodology see Veríssimo et al. (2012), Guilder et al.
(2015) and Arroyo-Arce and Thomson (2016).
On the 14 May 2014, a freshly predated loggerhead
was discovered at Tortuguero beach (10o
28’18.4’’ N
- 83o
27’57.9’’ W). The carcass was first encountered
at the edge of the beach, with bite marks on the neck
area of the animal, and jaguar tracks present around
the carcass. The following day, the carcass had been
dragged several meters into the vegetation adjacent to
the beach. The organs of the turtle had been partially
consumed, but the flippers and head of the animal were
still intact (Fig. 1).

To our knowledge, this constitutes the first documented
event of a loggerhead turtle predated by a jaguar, not
just at Tortuguero beach but also throughout its entire
geographical range. Since loggerhead nesting in the
study area occurs very infrequently (1-2 females
encountered per season; Sea Turtle Conservancy, pers.
comm.), the probability for an encounter between
loggerheads and jaguars, and therefore predation rate,
should be very low in comparison with the other species
of sea turtles that nest in larger numbers at the beach
(Arroyo-Arce and Salom-Pérez, 2015). In the absence
of additional evidence, it is difficult to ascertain the
effect of jaguar predation on the nesting population of
loggerhead turtles at Tortuguero beach."

A few Cattle Ranches in the Venezuelan Llanos and in The pantanal in Brazil have Water Buffalos (Bubalus bubalis) to prevent predation of Cattle by Jaguars and Pumas, it is working very well adding only a few individuals of Water Buffalos because they don`t have problems with Cattle and when they see a Jaguar or a Puma trying to hunt Cattle they confront them and they go away, they are very aggresive with them they are always ready to confront them (Jaguars and Pumas). Cattle Ranches only lose a few individuals.
RE: Jaguar Predation - Pckts - 05-26-2017
I still think jaguars will attempt it once they become accustomed to them but only on young, females or weak individuals. Innovative thinking on their part though.

RE: Jaguar Predation - Sully - 07-09-2017
The damage they can do to bone is just insane, top top predators. On another note, it is a lie that they have the highest bite force of any cat right? I think I have some data on sumartran tigers actually having stronger jaws.
