Hello @parvez :

I would just say that, if the jaguar is able to bite through the prey's skull, the death is instantaneous, isn't ?

The second method indicated in #1 (severing the spinal column) prevents the prey from protecting itself.

Thus, the two methods involve an important saving time and risk. For a solitary predator, that is one good thing at least.
