Discovering the Magnificent Jaguar: South America's Largest Cat

Jaguars are the largest cats in South America and the third largest in the feline family, after lions and tigers. They are known for their beautiful tan or orange coats with black rosettes, similar to leopards. Some jaguars are so dark they appear black. Jaguars are excellent swimmers and climbers, heavier than leopards, and have short, thick tails. They are solitary animals, marking their territory by clawing trees. Female jaguars have litters of one to four cubs, which are born blind and learn to hunt by staying with their mother for over two years. In the wild, jaguars live up to 12-15 years, while in zoos, they can live up to 25 years.
