It's very interesting to know that horse predation might be easier for jaguars than tapir, this is why I was so surprised to find out that jaguars aren't targeting wild horses in los Llanos that at least we know of, I'm inclined to believe that their difference choice of habitat might be the reason why. 

The dynamics between the jaguars of Brazil and the ones from Colombia and Venezuela seem different overall, although predation on adult domestic horses has been documented in Colombia too.

Your post also exemplified how much jaguars will take advantage of big ungulate prey when they have access to it which serves as a remnant of their prehistoric past.

Indeed I also noticed that difference on their predatory behavior between the brazilian ones and llanos ones towards preys, the Llanos ones probably are already fulfilled with what they got on preys and won't bother the wild/domestic horses however the brazilian ones are tricky and what surprises me the most is that even with good enviorment and abundance of natural preys some jaguars from here will still go for the domestic horses, we never get their behavior completely, that's what fascinates me the most about them. And its interesting the adult domestic horses predations in Colombia too. We never know what a jaguar is thinking. Reply
