Discover the jaguar's incredible abilities and learn more about this feline.
Able to disguise himself in the woods, walk lightly, climb tall trees and cross rivers, the jaguar seems to have the invisibility powers of a ninja warrior.
She uses all these skills to hunt and protect herself. She is usually more active when the sun goes down and can hunt at night as she sees well in the dark and has heightened hearing and sense of smell.
As she has short legs, she doesn't run. If it hides it, it follows its prey unnoticed and attacks by jumping off a branch or out of the woods suddenly, with a bite stronger than that of larger cats.
