The Jaguar, also known in South America as onça, is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third-largest after the tiger and the lion.

The habitat of the cat includes tropical, subtropical rain forests of South America, preferring to live by rivers, swamps, and in dense rainforest with thick cover for stalking prey.

The Jaguar is a protected species and lives in numerous reserves, one being the Manú National Park in Peru.

The Jaguar enjoys swimming and is largely a solitary, opportunistic, stalk and ambush predator at the top of the food chain. The Jaguar has an exceptionally powerful bite, even relative to the other big cats.

This allows it to pierce the shells of armored reptiles and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of prey between the ears to deliver a fatal bite to the brain.

The Jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of numerous indigenous American cultures, including those of the Maya and Aztec. The Jaguar was a symbol of power and strength.

The Jaguar was considered a sacred animal and during their religious rituals people dressed in jaguar skins. The Jaguar was believed to facilitate communication between the living and the dead.
