Jaguar (Panthera onca) is one of the four largest species in the cat family, alongside lions, tigers, and leopards. Their preferred habitats are tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, swamps, or densely wooded areas. Jaguars enjoy swimming and are solitary hunters, employing an ambush strategy to attack their targets.
They are apex predators in their ecosystems. A distinctive feature of jaguars is their coat adorned with rosettes that have black spots inside.
Meanwhile, Caiman crocodiles can grow up to two meters long. Although they are formidable predators, they often come out on the losing end when faced with jaguars.
