18×24 colored pencil, original unavailable. Please contact for more information. / Multiple views of the South American Jaguar which shows the patterns on the coat quite well. Habitat: ~ in the south of the USA, Central America and in the rain forests of South America, but mostly at the edge of the forest and in the savannah. Jaguars usually live in areas that are well supplied with woods, shrubs or high grass and – most importantly – water. / Unfortunately the number of these beautiful cats decreases due to deforestation of the rain forest, in some parts entire subspecies have vanished. Fur: ~ Jaguars have yellow to reddish-brown fur with black rosettes, which contain up to two pots. (to compare: leopards have rosettes without spots). These rosettes merge into stripes on legs and neck. The underside of the neck to the belly is ochre to white, as are the insides of the legs. further, there are black variations of the jaguar (more to find under “panthers”) Proportion: Length 110 to 180 cm (measured without the tail) / Shoulder height of 70 to 80 cm / Tail length 50 to 60 cm / Weight female 45 to 90 kg / Weight male 55 to 100 kg Physique: Jaguars are rather sturdy and strongly built, yet still they are very lithe and agile. Due to their massive appearance one tends rather to thinking that they live on the ground, which in fact is gernerally correct. However, they are gifted with exzellent climbing skills, which makes them in trees at home just as leopards. Maximum Age: the maximum age of jaguars is about 12 years, in captivity up to 22. – rare in free nature. Reproduction: under normal conditions the jaguar is a loner, but exceptions always exist. ~ the mating time is throughout the year. The female is pregnant between 92 to 100 days. A litter consists of 1 to 4 cubs – and these stay with their mother till the own sexual maturity (about 2 years). Diet/hunt: ~ the table of the jaguar is richly set. Its food pallet begins with small animals such as frogs, fish, lizards, continues to go over snakes, turtles, cayman, iguana, armadillos, smaller crocodiles and deer. Apes, ground breeding birds and various large mammals and ends with avocados. Sometimes it hunts also a few pets like dogs. (they are an easy prey). ~ If you’ve ever seen a jaguar hunt, you would recognize that it is a fast short-distance runner. It patiently waits lying in ambush for several hours directly on the often used paths of its prey, to strike within the blink of an eye. One powerful wipe with the paw kills the booty, or at least tears it onto the ground. A deadly neck bite or a bite into the head basis completes the hunt. In order to hunt fish, it waits in shallow waters for fish and strikes it directly from the water onto the dry. Jaguars carry their prey to a safe place prior to eating it. They bury the rest of the meal secretly. Their most important “tools” are their fangs, which are able to split a skull or a shell easily. Class: Mammalia (Mammals) / Order: Carnivora (Carnivore) / Family: Felidae (Cats) / Subspecies: Pantherinae / Species: Panthera (Big cats) / Sort: Panthera onca (Jaguar)/approx. 8 subspecies / (information from Jaguar, Leopard and Panther – smart big cats ) / Found a much clearer scan..

I’ve started a new series, earlier tonight I uploaded the first in the series that I did about a week ago, and this one just finished a few minutes ago. I hope you like them, each in the series will be a woman with a big cat, then later I might add other animals in as well, and probably some male characters as well. / Let me know what you think and if there is anything you’d like to see, I would love to know what people enjoy viewing and possibly purchasing. / Have an awesome day/night (depending on where you live) hehe / HUGS!!!!

The Jaguar. What an great subject to shoot. Did you know that the Belize Cockscomb Basin Preserve is the only animal preserve dedicated to Jaguar preservation in the world. They boast a 1 cat to every 5 square miles ratio. One of the biggest reasons why this majestic big cat in endangered is due to habitat loss because of deforestation in the Americas. The Jaguar has all but vanished in the American South and Central America.

The second shot in my Jaguar series. This time Boris the Jaguar is just looking at me. Soon after they moved him into the feeding area. I hope he doesn’t start equating me to food but I think that is on his mind. Did you know that jaguars have no animal except man who preys on them. Jaguars are a modest size big cat but in their environment they are an alpha predator.

The Jaguar is a New World mammal of the Felidae family and one of four “big cats” in the Panthera genus, along with the tiger, lion, and leopard of the Old World. The jaguar’s present range extends from Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. This spotted cat most closely resembles the leopard physically, although it is usually larger and of sturdier build and its behavioural and habitat characteristics are closer to those of the tiger. While dense rainforest is its preferred habitat, the jaguar will range across a variety of forested and open terrain. It is strongly associated with the presence of water and is notable, along with the tiger, as a feline that enjoys swimming. The base coat of the jaguar is generally a tawny yellow, but can range to reddish-brown and black. The cat is covered in rosettes for camouflage in its jungle habitat. The spots vary over individual coats and between individual Jaguars: rosettes may include one or several dots, and the shape of the dots varies. The spots on the head and neck are generally solid, as are those on the tail, where they may merge to form a band. The underbelly, throat and outer surface of the legs and lower flanks are white. A condition known as melanism occurs in the species. Melanistic Jaguars are informally known as black panthers, but do not form a separate species. Rare albino individuals, sometimes called white panthers, occur among jaguars, as with the other big cats. Jaguar females reach sexual maturity at about two years of age, and males at three or four. The cat is believed to mate throughout the year in the wild, although births may increase when prey is plentiful. Mating pairs separate after the act, and females provide all parenting. The gestation period lasts 93–105 days; females give birth to up to four cubs, and most commonly to two. The mother will not tolerate the presence of males after the birth of cubs, given a risk of infant cannibalism. The young are born blind, gaining sight after two weeks. Cubs are weaned at three months but remain in the birth den for six months before leaving to accompany their mother on hunts. They will continue in their mother’s company for one to two years before leaving to establish a territory for themselves. Young males are at first nomadic, jostling with their older counterparts until they succeed in claiming a territory. Typical lifespan in the wild is estimated at around 12–15 years; in captivity, the jaguar lives up to 23 years, placing it among the longest-lived cats.

Maya, a young jaguar at the Dreher Park Zoo. The Jaguar, Panthera onca, is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus. It is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest and most powerful feline in the Western Hemisphere. The jaguar’s present range extends from Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. Apart from a known and possibly breeding population in Arizona (southeast of Tucson), the cat has largely been extirpated from the United States since the early 1900s. This spotted cat most closely resembles the leopard physically, although it is usually larger and of sturdier build and its behavioral and habitat characteristics are closer to those of the tiger. While dense rainforest is its preferred habitat, the jaguar will range across a variety of forested and open terrain. It is strongly associated with the presence of water and is notable, along with the tiger, as a feline that enjoys swimming. The jaguar is a largely solitary, stalk-and-ambush predator, and is opportunistic in prey selection. It is also an apex and keystone predator, playing an important role in stabilizing ecosystems and regulating the populations of prey species. The jaguar has developed an exceptionally powerful bite, even relative to the other big cats. This allows it to pierce the shells of armoured reptiles and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of prey between the ears to deliver a fatal blow to the brain. The jaguar is a near threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include habitat loss and fragmentation. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still regularly killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in South America. Although reduced, its range remains large; given its historical distribution, the jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of numerous indigenous American cultures, including that of the Maya and Aztec.
