Africa A to Z Facts!: Day #10: "J" · 6:27pm Feb 10th, 2019
It continues my friends, let's get into our next letter:
J is for....Jaguar!
*The Jaguar can be found in rainforests primarily in South Africa (larger range in South America).
*Jaguars are often mistaken for Leopards due to their spots. A Jaguar's spots are larger and more defined than that of a Leopards.
*If you're in the jungle and you see a black, cat-like figure lounging about in a tree or in the water, odds are you're looking at a black furred Jaguar. A somehow common birth abnormality causes their fur to be dark/black but their spots are still visible!
*There are about 15,000 wild Jaguars left in the world.
*Jaguars are generally solitary animals. The exception is usually during mating season or with mother/cub groups.
*In the wild, a Jaguar can live up to 12 years.
