Jaguar 

 

 

                                                                          The jaguar is the largest South American cat, and

                                                                      the only big cat- the group that includes lions and

                                                                     tigers – to be found in the Americas. Jaguars often

                                                                     climb trees to lie in wait for prey. Their spotted coat

                                                                    provides excellent camouflage, enabling them to get

                                                                    close to prey before pouncing.
