The Llanos Jaguar

[Balam]

Faculto and Cachilapo, two of the resident dominant males at Hato la Aurora, Colombian Llanos. These males' territories overlap and here we see them checking the same area at different times. Cachilapo is particularly huge although Faculto is also very big.

See the very different coat patterns between these two males. Faculto has much larger rosettes with thicker outlines and multiple dots within, whereas Cachilapo has smaller rosettes with thinner outlines and no dots within.  The coat pattern between jaguars varies greatly.
