International Jaguar Day - 29 November 2021

One day too late, but I hope it will still help to raise awareness for the need of survival of these fantastic cats!

Jaguars (Panthera onca) are the only member of the Panthera family to be found in the Americas.

The jaguar has been identified as one species across its entire range, making the connection and protection of its habitat critical for the species’ genetic diversity.

The species faces major threats from habitat loss, poaching, overhunting of its prey by people, and human-jaguar conflict.

Jaguars have an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years and can measure up to 8ft or 270cm in length.

Jaguars are often mistaken for leopards, but can be differentiated due to the spots within the rosettes on their coats.

While many cats avoid water, jaguars are great swimmers, and have even been known to swim the Panama Canal.

As the third largest cat in the world, jaguars have shorter tails but more muscular bodies.

Jaguars consume a diet of meat and fish, and their prey includes caimans!
