Central and South American Cats

Let’s move south for a look at some more cats. We’ll start with the more well-known Jaguar.

Sometimes a jaguar is black on black—the spots are still there, but are only visible in the right light—this is what’s commonly called the black panther. Mostly though jaguars are golden with black spots that form circles (rosettes) around other spots. They look a lot like a leopard, but are stockier and squarer jawed. Jaguars also like water.

Watch one in action.
