Man-eaters

[GuateGojira]

According with the Sunquist (2014), the jaguars are the most difficult to train of the big cats. That will explain why there are very few jaguars in circus (I have saw no one in a show, by the way).

The book "An Indomitable Beast: The Remarkable Journey of the Jaguar" is a great book from the great expert, scientist-conservationist and big-cat lover Alan Rabinowitz. I have this book, so I will find more information about jaguar-human interaction at it.

It is incredible to say that the jaguars are known to fight and kill all the animals in the American continent*, but only the man and the domestic dog (in group at least) are capable of intimidate them**.

Notes:
* Although jaguars and bison-moose-red deer have never coexisted, as far I know, I am pretty sure that they could be good prey for the big cat.
** Probably the big brown bears too, but who knows, there are many cases of cougars intimidating brown bears in the wild.
 
By the way, the article posted by Pckts was also from Dr Alan Rabinowitz, here is the correct link: https://www.thedodo.com/community/arabin...30819.html Reply
