This guy was in Brazil in September of this year and caught this wild footage.
Seeing the beast in action like that is insane.

I was in Mexico a year ago, in the Yucatan taking a long tour ride out to see Mayan ruins. Somehow jaguars came up while talking to the mexican guide, & he said they were all over the area. He then pulled out his phone & showed me a vid from somebody’s security cam of a jaguar stalking a dog sitting on the patio of a house. It snuck up & pounced, then just grabbed the 50ish lb dog by the neck & easily dragged it off somewhere. Fuck living near those things.

I don’t blame the jaguar. While also extremely cute, capybaras look like they would be very tasty.

Seems like they would be easy pickins but they have healthy populations. On a related note, my chickens all got out of their enclosure today, and even though we have feral cats and coyotes and neighbors dogs, they are all still alive. My rooster did seem like he was tired keeping all those bitches alive today.

I think I could beat a jaguar in a fight, it didnt move with the athleticism of an african or asian cat. Id be fucked if it got fangs in my neck, thats a big “if” though cause id be spaming turning kicks as soon as it got within range

That was fucking crazy.
Having lived in NE Florida for decades now, I’m only used to Jacksonville jaguars, so I assumed they were all totally harmless.

Never assume…
I seriously love watching the way big or small cats hunt. It is just fascinating how every tiny movement is so deliberate.

Yes.
How their hind leg steps right into the same spot as their lead leg.
How their eyes light up before they go for that big bite.
Cats are neat.

I watch my feral cats stalk and kill mice. It’s not quite as exciting as that video.

Jaguars are slowly becoming my favourite big cat. They’re damn beautiful.
I’m not sure I agree they’re less athletic than African or Asian cats. Hard to pick one over the other. They’re bigger than leopards.
