A Wild Cat

The way to tell jaguars from leopards is that the rosette on the jaguar’s body has a dot inside of it. The jaguar has shorter legs and tail than the leopard.
The jaguars are the largest type of cat in North, and South America. Jaguars also come in an all black color.
These wild cats live in the rain forest. Most jaguars live in Mato grasso, Brazil. Jaguars need lots of fresh water because it is a great swimmer. This is unusual because as you know domesticated cats hate water.
Jaguars mate any time during the year, and produce a litter of 2-4 cubs. These animals prefer to live alone and they feed on small animals such as the wild pig and large rodents.
The biggest threat to jaguar’s survival is deforestation of the rain forest.
