Jaguars are awesome animals. They’re beautiful, they\u2019re powerful, and they\u2019re majestic. But it turns out there is more to these cats than meets the eye (or the camera). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read on for some interesting animal facts about this fascinating cat species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cubs are typically born in December to March. The cubs weigh around 1-2 pounds when they\u2019re born, but they can grow to weigh over 200 pounds by adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike most other cats, jaguars enjoy being in the water. This means that if you have a swimming pool or a lake nearby, you might see one of these guys chilling out at your local pond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Male lions are lions, and female lions are lionesses. Jaguars are simply referred to as male and female jaguars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to hear a really loud roaring sound, then turn up the volume on a video of a jaguar. The jaguar’s roar has been compared to a saw blade cutting through wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yaguar means \u201che who can kill with one leap\u201d. This clearly shows that the natives respected the jaguar and knew exactly how deadly they could be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, humans have a habit of destroyed habitat. Jaguar populations are declining in several countries because of increased human activity, which leads to habitat loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can find jaguars in some parts of Florida, as well as the Amazon Basin. They love tropical forests, so they tend to prefer warm climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most female jaguars will have 2-4 cubs. The cubs will then stay with her until they are old enough to take care of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 10% of jaguars are black. This happens when a dominant allele is in charge of coat colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
