There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Great videos, every video about jaguar behavior is very important as jaguars are among the less studied great cats.
What we learn from these videos:
1. Jaguar tails are very short and robust, the first video show it and it is probably an adaptation to the aquatic environment.
2. Snakes are in great disadvantage with the great cats. Those stage videos of phytons and old tigers are simply fake, check that when the great cat is fully wild and had its teeth, it is a great hunter and manage the snake very well. I guess that not even the largest anaconda is a rival for the jaguars.
3. Any animal in the jaguar's territory can be its prey. No species is safe.
4. Rivers are not good indicators of separations of subspecies for tigers and jaguars. These great cats can manage strong rivers very well.
5. It is amazing to see how the jaguar climb the tree naturally, not like some captive cats that are lured to do it.
5. The hunt of the capibara is amazing, check how the jaguar take the prey by the skull and force it to cover to finish the kill.
Despite the image, I see no difference between the claws of the jaguar and the tiger/lion. All have evolved for the same work, to grasp and cut the prey perfectly. Interestingly, the colossal squid also developed this same weapons!
