Jaguar vs Other Big Cats – Reasons why Jaguars are so Different

Jaguars are beautiful, wild creatures… these creature are unique compared to the other Big Cats and this mostly has to do with their personality. Jaguars are in many ways different, all of which contribute to its refusal to be “tamed”.

Below are some of those differences

(1) Jaguars kill differently.

• While other big cats such as lions and tigers aim for the neck, Jaguars attack the head. They would rip open the cranial cap right off their prey. having the strongest jaw strength of all big cats. It’s jaw strength is twice that of lion, able to open it’s jaws further and wider than any other cat. They sink their teeth deep into the skull ripping it apart.. They can attack right in the face of their victims . So let this be a warning to those trying to play with a jaguar. watch out for your face and your skull. Jaguars love skulls very much.

(2) You can’t predict a Jaguar.

• They are the most unpredictable of all the big cats. They are solitary hunters, capable of , less emotive, known as “Forest ghost”, can follow you for a long time without noticing it, hard to find in the wild, Jaguars keep to themselves and stay very quietly.

(3) Jaguars are the most moody of all the big cats.

• They most often brood when in captivity, rather than getting aggressive. They don’t react to stimuli in the same way that the other cats do. This is another aspect of their unpredictability.

(4) Of all the big cats, Jaguars are best suited to migrate in the wild

• There’s a traditional migration corridors they follow, that are vast. they are able to adapt to different terrain, and this gives them the option of migrating if and when they feel like it. Jaguars migrate for mating, for food, due to weather conditions, for water. Jaguars in captivity don’t have the option of migrating and this contributes greatly to their brooding nature.

(5) Most solitary of all the big cats.

• As i said earlier jaguar is the most solitary of all the big cats. lions have prides. But even though tigers and leopards are both solitary hunters, they live in close proximity to humans. Jaguars are extremely difficult to locate, they live in the most desolate areas. So not only are they hard to find, they also go to a great length of separating themselves from all signs of civilization. This shows a strong “dislike” of things that indicate civilization. Although, jaguar siblings in captivity do okay together, they are the most difficult of the cats to keep with others of their own kind.

(6) Jaguars are difficult to train

• It’s very difficult to train jaguars due to the reasons listed above. performing jaguars are very few, therefore fewer people have the time to put in the extra effort. Most people would prefer to train lions, tigers and leopards due to their social nature . Therefore there is more knowledge in their taking and their handling.

(7) Jaguars were feared in South Africa

• There was a time in South America where jaguars were either feared and killed or feared and worshiped. Sometimes both.

For all these reasons, the jaguar has been fortunate enough to not suffer the humiliation of being trained, as much as the other cats. He’s just too much of a handful to make it worth the effort. They just don’t “break”. They aren’t necessarily the most dangerous of the cats, they prefer to be left alone and will avoid you at all costs; It’s best not to disturb a jaguar, they love to rip skulls and tear faces.
