“Jaguar” comes from the native South American name “yaguara,” meaning “a beast that kills its prey with one bound.” They’re good swimmers and frequently hunt near bodies of water. A jaguar may “go fishing” by waving their tail over the water to attract hungry fish. Each jaguar’s spot pattern is unique, like their own personal ID. Jaguars are also solitary animals and considered crepuscular — active at dawn and dusk.
