Happy Caturday!!

Jaguar by the bank of the Cuiaba River. 

Jaguars are the third largest of the four big cats. It has a sturdy build and usually weights between 125 and 200 pounds. It can reach up to six feet long and stand at about 2 and half feet at the shoulder. Its coat has a tawny brown base and is covered with black rosette spots.  

Jaguars will either crush and suffocate it's victim or bite straight through the skull. It prefers to stalk and eventually ambush its prey rather than chase it. Then it pounces from a prey’s blind spot. After the kill, jaguars prefer to drag their meal to a secluded spot to eat. They are carnivores and will eat almost any kind of meat. – Wikipedia
