A Jaguar laying on a platform watching
Jaguars are formidable predators and eat a wide variety of prey, from large mammals such as deer, to fish and small birds. Their common name comes from the native Indian 'yaguara' meaning 'beast that kills its prey with one bound', since these remarkable cats typically attack their prey by pouncing on them from a concealed spot. Jaguars are the largest cats of the Americas, but despite genetic studies indicating there are no subspecies, they vary enormously in size within different regions.
