The Jaguar



Jaguars

Jaguars are the 3rd largest cat in the world. Jaguars have the strongest jaw strength above all cats. The speed of a jaguar can go up to 80 km per hour or 50 miles per hour. This is mainly about the life cycle, appearance, habitat and diet of the jaguar. Read on if you want to learn more.

Life Cycle-
Jaguars mate all year round. After mating 100 days later the female gives birth to one to four kittens in either a cave, thicket or a den. The kittens are born with their eyes closed. From there the kittens will grow up like a normal cat stay with their mum for about two years and will start hunting at six months. Jaguars live up to 15 to 20 years.

The appearance of a Jaguar-
A Jaguar has yellow- orange fur with black ring like spots which sometimes looks a bit like flowers. Sometimes there are jaguars that are completely black, but if you look real close you can see black spots. To me jaguars always look angry.
Habitat-
Jaguars live in both North and outh America. You are likely to find them near rivers, swamps and in rain forests. Jaguars tend to like damp, hot and muggy places.
Diet-
Jaguars are carnivores which means they eat other animals. Jaguars tend to eat deer, peccary, crocodiles, snakes, monkeys, sloth tapirs, turtles, eggs, frogs, fish and anything they can get their paws on.
I think jaguars are amazing and interesting animals. I hope you enjoyed reading it and learnt something about jaguars.
