In the shadow of the jaguar

The jaguar is the largest cat of prey in South America. It can grow up to 2 metres long and weigh up to 150 kg. Jaguars are solitary animals and only come together to mate. Jaguars kill their prey by biting through the skull with their long canine teeth. During the dry season, when the animals are close to the riverbanks, is the ideal time to observe jaguars.
