		Jaguar ^Votes:0 web hosting domain names photo sharing Panthera onca The Jaguar is the largest cat of the Americas, and the only living representative of the genus Panthera found in the New World. The jaguars pattern differs from that of the leopard by having larger, broken-edged rosettes around small black spots. It has a large head and stocky build, with relatively shorter limbs than others of its genus. The jaguar can reach a length of 7 feet from nose to tail tip and stands about 28 inches at the shoulder. An adult male jaguar may weigh 250 pounds while the female reaches about 200 pounds. Melanism is frequent in the jaguar, and is inherited as a monogenic dominant to the normal golden-colored form, rather than through a recessive allele. Albinistic specimens are occasionally reported.

		Jaguars ^Votes:0 JAGUARS Like lions , jaguars can't sustain high speeds and depend on getting close to prey for successful kills. Normally solitary animals, male and female jaguars stay together for a few weeks when breeding. Although not quite as graceful and agile as the leopard , the jaguar climbs trees, often in wait for its prey. Although it can climb, jaguars are much happier hunting at ground level and in water. Jaguars are the largest and most powerful of the American members of the cat family. Jaguars hunt alone, killing creatures such as sloths, tapirs and turtles. Jaguars are found from the southern United States to northern Argentina. A mature jaguar is 112 to 185 cm (44 to 73 in) long, not including the tail. Jaguars are carnivorous.
