The look!
Jaguar - endangered species and unfortunately still hunt by some imbeciles.
Fast facts:
- The jaguar is the largest carnivore and only big cat in Latin America, encompassing 18 countries from Mexico to Argentina.
- As a “Near Threatened” species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the jaguar is extinct in El Salvador and Uruguay, and facing pressure in remaining range countries.
- Jaguars have experienced over 50% loss in its natural habitat range.
- 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.
- 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.
Have a peaceful Caturday!
