Facts: The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only extant Panthera species native to the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline species after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Americas. The jaguar is a near-threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still frequently killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in Brazil and illegal hunting.
It's a privilege to photograph this powerful and fascinating animal in its habitat.
Happy Caturday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Better Seen Large!
The jaguar is a large cat species and the only living member of the genus Panthera native to the Americas. With a body length of up to 1.85 m and a weight of up to 158 kg, it is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third largest in the world.
Jaguars are the only big cat in the Americas and the third biggest in the world after tigers and lions. They look a lot like leopards, which live in Africa and Asia, but jaguars’ spots are more complex and often have a dot in the center.
These powerful cats were worshipped as gods in many ancient South American cultures, and representations of the jaguar show up in the art and archaeology of pre-Columbian cultures across the jaguar’s range.
Jaguars face a number of threats, including habitat fragmentation and illegal killing. South and Central America’s high rates of deforestation—for grazing land, agriculture, and other uses—have not only destroyed jaguars’ habitat but also broken it up. Fragmented forests mean that cats get boxed into patches of forest and can’t travel far to find new mates. That kind of isolation can lead to inbreeding and local extinctions.
Another threat jaguars face is retaliatory killings from ranchers. As grazing land replaces forests, jaguars are more likely to hunt cattle. In response—and sometimes in anticipation—cattle owners kill jaguars.
Poaching is another growing problem for jaguars. They’ve long been hunted for their pelts, and now there’s a growing illegal, international trade in jaguar teeth and jaguar bone products going to China.
Conservation Status: Near Threatened - in Brazil Threatened.

Ce qui permet sur ce cliché de distinguer le jaguar d'une panthère : ses rosettes avec un point noir au milieu, bien visible sur sa queue.

A beautifully marked Jaguar on the prowl at Chester Zoo. They are identified by their yellow or orange coats, dark spots and short legs. The dark spots on their coats are unlike any other cat spots. Each spot looks like a rose and are called rosettes.

Der Jaguar E-Type von 1964 ist ein wichtiges Modelljahr, da ab hier der 3,8-Liter-Motor durch einen größeren 4,2-Liter-Motor ersetzt wurde
. Diese Fahrzeuge gehören zur ersten Serie („Series 1“) und sind bekannt für ihre geschlossenen Scheinwerfer. Sie waren die erste Generation des E-Type nach seiner Premiere 1961, der als eines der schönsten Autos aller Zeiten galt.
The 1964 Jaguar E-Type is an important model year, as it marked the replacement of the 3.8-liter engine with a larger 4.2-liter engine.
These cars belong to the first series (“Series 1”) and are known for their closed headlights. They were the first generation of the E-Type after its premiere in 1961, which was considered one of the most beautiful cars of all time.
Le jaguar se caractérise par une mâchoire puissante. Il peut percer la carapace d'une tortue ou s'attaquer à un caïman. Pour tuer une proie, le jaguar plante ses canines dans son crâne.

This one is a wild old male and he was resting in a river bank at Rio Cuibá, Mato Grosso (Pantanal National Park). Very difficult light conditions, handheld and taken from a little boat.
