    Pound for pound the most powerful big cat, living in the shadow of their cousins the Lion, tiger and cheetah.

    Their tree climbing ability is second to no other big cat. Possibly my favourite animal. Amazing creatures, the apex predator of South America.

    I am curious how they would get on in a fight against the mighty silverback gorilla or a pair of wolves.

    I think you'll find the jaguar is superior with it's stock body and shorter limbs.

    Tiger is the best cat. Pisses all over the lion. The Jaguar is ghay, it's up there with that lanky one that can jump high

    The Jaguar was both admired and reviled in equal amounts whenever Margaret Thatcher stepped out of one.

    Put a jaguar in a tank with a small bull shark and see how well it goes. It's no wonder their scared of water.

    I wonder if we mutated into giant humans ... or ... if you could shrink a big cat overnight, would the human-cat relationship be the same as with our current domestic cats.
    would tigers/jaguars stare at you from the giant windowsill and sit beside the giant press waiting for you to open an oversize tin of food....would they sit beside the giant fire.
    i dont know. but ill write it anyway. because im bored. and i can.

    She seems to be ok when I wear a suit but I also stick a gimp mask on.

    Cheetahs are the best big cat.

    I think they might even be kept as pets sometimes.

    I want one.

    I think two wolves might be too much for the jaguar to handle, even with it's claw advantage and massive weight advantage. Might be a step to far.

    What is this insolence? How is it more powerful than a Tiger?
