Imagine being eye-to-eye with the largest cat of North and South America, which also happens to be the third largest in the world. The jaguar is unlike many of the other cats in the world for a number of reasons. The jaguar is a gorgeous yet violent creature that lives in a large, altering environment, has numerous preys and predators, with many other extraordinary characteristics. The jaguar does not have a “personal preference” on where he chooses to live. The jag is a “nomadic” animal, meaning it has no set home. Many years ago, the cat made a difficult trek from Argentina to the North to the Grand Canyon located in Arizona. Although the “home” of the jaguar is not technically the Grand Canyon, he can in fact live anywhere. You can find …show more content…
The jaguar is unlike the other cats of the wild, though, meaning he will gladly swim for his food. The jaguar’s list of preys ranges from fish to deer to crocodile-like animals. The jaguar is occasionally referred to as the “predator of all” (animals). The beast is called this because “jaguar” is derived from the word yaguara, which means “animal that kills in a single bound”, as well as παν and θηρευτής meaning “predator of all”. (San Diego Zoo Animals) The hunting techniques of the beast depend on the habitat it is in. For example, if it was in a jungle area, surrounded by trees, it would climb up a tree around its prey, then jump on it and therefore killing it. Although the jaguar has many techniques and characteristics, it is not a limited animal by any …show more content…
For example, many people do not know the difference between a cheetah, jaguar, and leopard. Between these three animals are slight, but noticeable differences, mainly relating to their spots. The cheetah has solid and equally distributed spots, the leopard has spots that resemble flowers, and the jaguar has flower looking spots as well, but it will more than likely have spots in the center as well as a darker, thicker outline. Just as humans have a unique fingerprint, jaguar’s spots are unique to each individual jaguar. (Hedy Phillips) Another interesting is because of its power, ferocity, and valor the jaguar was viewed as a god in Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala, in pre-Columbian America, it was also worshipped by the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas (Pure Spirit). In the myths of the Mayans, the jaguar was thought to be the ruler of the Underworld. Because they thought this was true, the Mayans, Aztecs, as well as the Incas each built temples to honor this god. This beautiful beast is, obviously, not a god, because unfortunately it is an endangered animal as of 1997 because humans are slowly but surely wiping out their migration paths and their habitat. Although only a few are listed, there are so many more neat facts and characteristics of this beast that make it, the wonderful creature it
The tar pits were surrounded by grasslands, shrubby areas and pine forests. Sabertooth cats fed off of herbivores so they often times lived in areas like this because many of the plant-eating animals sabertooth cats relied on lived in these areas. Smilodons also preferred to live in closed habitats so that it was easy to ambush it’s prey while hiding in bushes. Fossils show some evidence that Sabertooths were social, perhaps even living in groups to care for one another. Fossil records also suggest that they lived in icy lands, as they lived during the end of the Dinosaurs and during the Ice Age.
The jaguar tattoo is a culture signifier in Guatemalan, and it means danger and fear. But people are not afraid of the tattoo anymore, the tattoo becomes a mark that makes those victims find he is a killer in Guatemala.

If this species were given enrichment, they will live longer and have a healthy life. Another method to enrich these cats is give them the place to hide out. They love to hide, play and explore. It’s part of their predatory when hunting, stalking, killing, and consuming the prey. Design activities that provides that stimuli such as high shelves. They love to jump high. They are very active creatures. Give them items to mark their territory like small pieces of tree trunk or branches to set the environment for the Savannah’s. These environmental enrichment may reduce the severity of bad behavior. Savannah cats love sunny areas, if apply a sun room for them is very good with added bird and squirrel feeder that is set up to let the cat watch. Doing so does not cause arousal and frustration.

The Most Dangerous Game is a story of conflict. This is demonstrated throughout the pages of this gruesome tale. The story begins in the middle of blood-warm waters of the unforgiving Caribbean Sea. Two friends, Sager Rainsford and Whitney, are traveling to Rio de Janeiro to hunt the biggest cat in that region, the jaguar. Like most humans, Rainsford and Whitney pride themselves on being the hunters instead of the hunted. Though they differ because Whitney feels that the jaguar has feelings, and Rainsford believes it does not, this is the first look at conflict. Rainsford cold-hearted feelings for animals shows that he does not care about the creatures that he hunts, but is only into hunting for the sport of it.
Symbolism, regarding animals is common for the Lumbee Indian. Animals represented certain ideas, spirits and characteristics. Instead of a preacher or reverend the Lumbee had a medicine man or shaman, which communicated with Gods. They were wise and were important to the tribe at a higher level. They played significant roles in decision making, traditions and ceremonies.
The majority of the gods and goddesses take a form that combines animal and human features. For example, rain and earth deities often have characteristics derived from crocodiles and snakes (Thompson, 1998). The Mayan deities also have a duality complex in which they could be both benevolent and malevolent, but this duality could also apply to age and sex such as a god or goddess being portrayed as youthful or aged or a masculine god sometimes being portrayed as feminine (Thompson, 199). Worship of animals, such as the Jaguar, was present (Thompson, 200) and numbers were seen as deities as well (Thompson, 239). Each deity corresponds to a number.

“We were born, To be real, Not to be perfect.” an anonymous person once said. The quote is a perfect example that reflects the Tom Leopard. Tom Leopard has tattooed his body from head to toe. According from the article The Sociology of the Leopard Man by Logan Feys “According to the Guinness Book of World Records he is the most tattooed man. He is, according to society, a freak.” But the amazing part of Tom Leopard is that he is himself. He doesn’t life for other people’s reaction, and so should people. Reasons why we were born to be real and not perfect is because, firstly being perfect doesn’t exactly mean changing who you are. The second reason why, you could feel many emotions and one of them could be not feeling content with yourself.
All of these beasts are very similar to animals that are real and that are very common around
Tigers are the largest members of the cat family. They live in Asia and belong to the same genus as the lion, leopard, and jaguar. Two major subspecies of the tiger are the Siberian tiger and the Bengal tiger. The tiger is thought to have originated in northern Asia during the Pleistocene Epoch.
This cat is a powerful jumper and climber, also capable of running at high speeds. The paws of the Siberian tiger are equipped with long, sharp, dagger-like retractable claws.
Black Leopards/Black Panthers are found most frequently in humid forests but are just a color variation and not a subspecies. Variations in color has been the basis for the naming of 24 subspecies of Leopards in the Sub-Saharan Africa alone. However most of these animals are not really subspecies but merely color variations.
