  • the only creature on this earth that isn't under threat is us humans. it's the biggest shame that it seems just about every species is under threat, highly threatened, or cirtically endangered by our actions. This has got to stop and changed. if we can cause soo much destruction on this planet, we've got the ability and power to make it right again and help these endangered animals come back from death.

  • Jaguars = Cool!

  • These American wildlife shows all seemed to be really dumbed down with music in the background, presumably to make it more "entertaining". C'mon, are Yanks really that stupid? I'm sure you can make more intellectual programmes than this! You need an American version of David Attenborough...

  • I hope that we can keep our wild places intact in this world. It would be a terrible shame to lose these magnificent creatures.

    On a side note, the deer at 3:05 is probably calling the tiger over to meet its family ^_^

  • can u find me full show of the jaguar ?? pls

  • I appreciate that this is old enough to be called National Geographic, not the dumbed-down MTV generation "nat geo" bullshit.

  • @FatRedneckTerrorist Not if you are bitten :P mauled then yes. lol

  • @FatRedneckTerrorist Jaguars MAY have the strongest bite force body/head size ratio, but I highly doubt they give the strongest bite. I would rather be bitten by a Jaguar than a Siberian Tiger, ANYDAY.

  • @TaReaperz actually the tiger has stronger bite force but, the jaguar has the strongest bite force of all felines compared to the size of its body. It means that if the tiger were same size of the jaguard it would have a less powerful bite, but tiger still remains the largest feline with the biggest bite force.

  • @simon8leprotto Well that's not what he said, he said that Jaguars have the strongest bite force. And I corrected him. If he said that Jaguars have the strongest bite force compare to size of body then no problem.

  • @FatRedneckTerrorist Some results also say the Lions have the strongest bite force. And by research you mean Wikipedia? lol.. Your vulgar language and insults shows that you lack the skill for a nice social discussion. Good day.

  • @FatRedneckTerrorist Everyone with half a brain would know the bigger the head (with a flat face) will have a stronger bite force. The results that you have looked up will be different from other results - that is because they used different sizes of animals. For example, the results of Duke University is that the Tiger gave it a 1000 psi while the Jaguar made 900, now we all know that the Siberian Tiger is the biggest of all cats thus it would be logical for it to have a stronger jaw.

  • Stunning film lovely to watch

  • it's puma not lion!

  • why not kill poachers on sight

  • @mooseballs44 That would be murder. Statements like that may get you an easy reaction from people who agree with you, but it still isn't right and doesn't solve anything.

  • tiger-uses boxing power

    lion-uses strength and power

    leopord-uses stealth and speed

    jaguar-uses speed and little strength

  • I like National Geographic's Documentaries.

  • @kknmkk10 me 2

  • jaguars have the most powerfull jaws of the animal kingdom

  • thumbs down for ad

  • big cats?, and the lion ?, nothing is showed about the real King

  • the arabian tiger is extinct, they should make videos or reports about it

  • the tiger is the beutifuls animal the world

  • its very funny

  • Cool cats ! Great Hunters, near from disappearing from our planet !!!

  • Cool

  • @Irishwithin

    Actually leopards are bigger. But a mountain lion is a small cat because of it's vocals.

  • now thats a nice pussy

  • to me a big cat is exactly as the word says big cat, and cougars are big, they are bigger than cheetahs and leopards, they are the fourth largest cats in the world. so this talk about them being related to small cats dosnt mean anything thay are BIG!!!!!

  • I think the african leopard is the most beautiful

  • Absolutely wonderful video! Adding it to my favorites.

  • Comment removed

  • No, you're the idiot. Scientifically, there are 5 wild cats that are classified as "big cats". They are (in order of size) tigers, lions, jaguar, leopard, and cheetah. Cougars and snow leopards are not classified as big cats. There are only 5 official "big cats". Now, "big cat" is subjective...such as I have a 17 lbs house cat...that's a big cat to most. A cougar is a big cat, but is not classified as a "big cat".

  • Comment removed

  • LOL! OK! I'll tell the scientific community that they are wrong.

    Sorry, kiddo, but there are 5 cats classified as "big cats". Tigers, lions, jaguars, leopards and cheetahs. As much as you want it to be something else, it's not, and you're wrong.

  • Great comeback!  Sucks to be wrong, doesn't it?

  • See, this is a sad reflection on the state of today's youth. Too stupid/lazy to type a full word as well as too stupid/lazy to use the proper punctuation.

  • haha u wouldnt no about todays youth bc ur to fuckin ugly to get married and bone a girl for kids

  • Says the man playing internet tough guy while using no for know, u for you, todays for today's, bc for because, ur for you're or you are, and no punctuation what so ever. Not to mention you have no idea what I look like.  But let's say you are good looking. When they reach a certain age, girls don't want guys who's only possible career path is the fry station at McDonald's.

  • Comment removed

  • yep

  • BTW, little more info for you. Of the five big cats, only one is not in the Panthera genus, that would be the Cheetah. The jaguar is Panthera Onca, lion is Panthera Leo, tiger is Panthera Tigris, leopard is Panthera Pardus, but the cheetah is Acinonyx Jubatus.

  • i love this cats!!

  • Hmm... it seems like we're missing one other "BIG CAT"

  • You're missing several, and the cougar isn't considered a big cat. The jag and tiger are, so missing are actually cheetahs, leopards, and lions.

  • apharot, You're %!00 correct. And the tip about the cougar was some info many do not know...nice tip! It just seemed to me that through common basic knowledge, many would expect the Lion of all things to be included.

  • My problem is that this is on NationalGeographic, and they are basically saying the cougar is a big cat. Talk about misinformation.

  • GO TIGERS!!! lol

  • i love big cats to there 1st favorite animal on earth

    panthers are all black black jaguars have rossetes in sun

  • I love big cats

  • What's the difference between a jaguar, a leopard and a cheetah?

  • @LatiosnLatias02 They are different species... Cheetah is smaller but faster than the other two...! And you can also see the "black tears" on their faces.. But it's not a good climber. And as I said below I don't know the differences between the Jaguar and the Leopard, but you can see the differences on their bodies... And I mean the "black dots".

    Jaguar: fewer but bigger dots

    Leopard:more and smaller dots

  • @Ch3SteR7 Damn I made a mistake! Panther is the black Jaguar not the black Leopard! Sorry! :P

  • Thank you.

  • Hhhmm...If I was able to I would "hunt" some poachers.

  • Wunderschön gemacht.

  • what is the difference between panther and jaguar? I just wonder

  • nothing..the black jaguar called panther..thats all

  • Jaguar animal is a strong but lazy.the panther animal isa clever but not lazy.

  • @MabuxSelalu A panther can be a jaguar or a panther, even a cougar. It's just a name people use if they are black. But that's racist!!!! xD It's very inaccurate at least. To sum it up, there's no such species as a panther.

  • @MabuxSelalu Panther is the black leopard.. so it's a leopard...! Leopard and Jaguar are different species... Leopard has smaller but more "black dots" on its body... Jaguar has bigger but fewer.. Check it out on Google photos!

  • Cougars are best.

  • save the fucking tigers

  • Ausome

  • the tigers of southern china are belived to be extinct in the wild

  • hahaha I can't help but laugh about the male is going to be long gone before the kids come and shows the jaguar going away

  • I find it weird... Poachers often kill these animals because their coats are beautiful, which is exactly the reason I wouldn't kill a single one of them... I always find that tigers are more beautiful when they are still alive and their coats are still on them.

  • Tiger is just the biggest. its also the most beautiful cat in the world too.

  • @rax7 Lol you color blind.

  • the jaguars have sex to 100 times a day? dang.

  • An average lion would be approximately 3/4 the size of an average tiger. An average jaguar would be 1/2 the size of an average tiger (and therefore 2/3 the size of an average lion). An average leopard would be 1/3 the size of a tiger and therfore almost 2/5 the size of a lion. All these are in terms of weight.

  • Cubs for the bigger cats like Lions, Kittens for the smaller cats i think. Mountain Lions are small for a big cat, so i guess it goes in the Kitten catagory.

  • Kitten describes a Domestic cub. Mountain lion cubs are cubs.

  • I don't know why but so many people (myself included) think that Jaguars are black. I don't know why, but I always thought that they were - clearly, I was wrong. they look so much like leopards!

  • You are not wrong really. THey are similar cats from different areas of the world. Built with slight differences depending on where they are from what i know. So when you see a doco and they are saying its a Jaguar and it black, it is a Jaguar.

  • .........................

  • Although I have done a lot of reading, i still can't tell apart a jaguar from a leopard very easily. I think i know the differences between them, but in practice, once i look at some of their photoes, only 50% chance that I might get them right

  • you can see it by studying the skull. the jaguar has very strong skull, and thiswhy he has the strongest bite of all cats. and you can see the difference by studying the torsus. the torsus of a jaguar is stronger and he has a shorter tail. the which but both are amazing bigcats like every panthera.snowleopards are also a kind of bigcats but even not pantheras. they cannot roar

  • Thanks.

  • well since u've done ur reading, u should be able to tell apart a leopard from a jaguar..a jaguar has dark bigger spots compared to the leopard and broader shoulders. last time i wasn't able to differentiate as well but now i do.

  • Book is book, practice is another story. In the book leopard is described to be shorter, less sturdier built than jaguar. I always try to look at their spots, but only works for me 50%. They say jaguar has larger spots on its coat, but sometimes i found a lepard with large black spotted coat pictures. It just so freaking confusing between these two supposed different animals.

  • Also Jags are substantially larger than leopards.

  • a jaguar has bigger rosettes than a leopard

  • Jaguars and leopards don't have spots they have rosettes, and the jaguar does have bigger rosettes you were right on that.

  • In my opinion NG should give the right to people of all over the world to see this videos and not just people in the United States!!

  • I live in Canada and I can still watch the videos....

  • is the jaguar protected in the amazonas? i mean guards who protect them from poachers?

  • where i live we have moutain lyions

  • 'Big Cats' spcificly mens a wild cat that can roar

  • Big Cats used to mean tigers, lions, jaguars and leopards only, but now the term has expanded to other big cats such as cougars, cheethas, snow leopards and clouded leopards. Of course you are right, only the biggest cats can roar.

  • actually tigers, lions, and jaguars are considered great cats because of size and ability to roar. the others are big cats.

  • hmm dont know much about wildlife but is a lion a cat? or part cat?

  • ATTENTION : National Geographic, Support the Israeli Occupation of palestine...

    Please unsubscribe if you care... allahuakbar

  • cougars are not bigcats! traditionally bigcats are leopards, snowleopards, jaguars, tigers and lions. not the height is essential but all of them exept the snowleopards can roar. bigcats lie while eating and scientists can see it while studying the skulls

  • Cougars are the fifith biggest cat. On the other hand, snow leopards are the seventh biggest one, just behind cheetahs that is the sixth biggest cat.

  • I herd jaguars dont roar? is that true?

  • they can roar but they do it rarely...cougars cannot roar

  • yea rite... cougars make da awesomest noise in da animal kingdom...i should no my dad is a vet in alaska. we c cougars up 2 5X a month...btw its my fave animal

  • large pussy's

  • i also love big kats!!!!!!...i cant wait til i can return to the rough jungles of lima to make sweet love to yet another big kat

  • I just LOVE big cats!!! My favorite is the Tiger!! My room is ALL decor in Tiger and White Tiger!!! I LOVE BIG CATS AND TIGERS!!! SAVE THEM!!!!! STOP HUNTING!!!!

  • i totally love it

  • Damn 100 times a day.

  • lmao

  • "Unlike most lions, tigers hunt alone."

    Maybe because tigers are unlike all lions...

  • Some lions, especially young adult males, will hunt alone

  • EXCELENTE MATERIAL..

  • OMFG i laughed so hard at 0:40, when the Jaguar was stalking the deer and the monkey was like "oh shit behind you! run bitch!"

  • paste this to 2 other videos

  • ahhhh so sweet

  • Noble beasts.

  • check out "angel tries to get buddy" video

    its soooo cute!!

  • the jaguar lives the kind of lifestyle i wish i could live: one where the only things that consumes my time are food and sex

  • the punishment for poaching a tiger in india is 14 yrs in prison

  • 100 times a day

    sheeiiiiiittttt

  • lol K this remind me of u :D

  • LOL the male jaguar is a fuckin playa.

  • Seriously man... I don't know how people could kill these amazing, beautiful and breath taking animals. That's wrong man! They should pass a law that would give poachers and people who hunt these beautiful animals time in prison. Asia, Russia and China and the Americas should try to do something about this. I wouldn't say Africa because the lions are not really on the verge of being extinct!

  • People are on the verge of becoming extinct. It just isn't apparent yet. I believe in entropy.

  • Check out ccfcheetah if you want to healp cheetahs

  • I was enjoying it - then the preaching started.

  • YOU KNOW I LOVE BIG CATZ !

  • check out BigCatRescue here at youtube and support them..they really try to help the big cats =)

  • yes i wish poaching would stop too, but tigers also need more land asweell.I have an idea how about we kill a load of ppl in asia and giv the land to the tigers lol.but seriously i wud probably choose tiger over human.

    o yh r pumas and cougars the same cat?

  • Yes, its a cat with many names.

  • @k00lkane how abt killin europens coz the r the ones who came to asia and killed all those tigers in asia n natives in americas! But I would not choose to put tigers in europe killin ppl.

    Idiot ppl like your kind are making world worse place to live, both for these tigers and "other kind" of people.

  • @wretch im a europen so plz dont say that im putting all my might in to saving those tigers ive even adopted one

  • mom i wanr that one..ok witch one..that big one over there..honey thats a jaguar.wait AHHH RUN! lol

  • guyz if people say there are 500 tigers left dat means thats how many they have seened so far , others have not been seen yet and hopefully it stays dat way so it is out of harm pzz!@

  • to bad Humanity is destructive : /

  • I wish poaching would stop. :(

  • 100 times a day!? They have the famous latin stamina.

  • i hate my kind

  • then do us all a favor and go far far away.

  • a long time ago before humans started breeding like rats and started freakin up the planet there were 5 million tigers

  • Hahaha 5 million... Thats greatly exacurated...

  • LMAO 5 million :D There were 100 thousend tigers a century ago (when the population was stable)

    5 million :D - if there were 5 million tigers they would need 50 million prey

    Dont pull stupid stutistics out of your ass man...

  • I dont know you in life, but judging from you comments - you are simply stupid... What the fuck are you saying??? Exagurate concept? You pull out of your ass that there were 5 million tigers - that is STUPID no ecosystem can ever hold 5 million big predators

    Maybe you should exacurate that concept shit for brains. - Hugh?? Just admit you were stupid, dont argue like a little kid

  • they will be extinct soon because of dumb people

  • then you should probably stay away from them.

  • Cougars are tought most closly related to cheetahs.

  • lies

  • hugh?

  • does the narrator say "unlike most lions, tigers hunt alone"??

    So sad to think ther are 500 left in the wild!! 500!! christ. Imagine your grandkids liveing in a world where tigers, for example, simply DONT EXIST!

  • WTF?? Were did you get there are only 500 tigers left? Thats nonsence

  • probably from facts when they go out and track them. ever heard of statistical data?

  • Dumbfuck... There are definetly more then 500 tigers left... There are more then 2000 tigers in India alone

  • actually there are only around 40 bengal tigers left in India but, more in Asia

  • there are about 1400 tigers in India now

  • you sure because on Champions of the Wild they said there were only around 40 bengal tigers left in the wild

  • and I meant to say in India

  • Tiger's are the baddest of the bad. They are built to take down just about anything, and they are so cool. Mountain Lions and Jaguars are also really awesome, and together all three are probably in my top five favorites. Its a shame what we are doing to them, but I guess in a lot of cases its us or them, and humans aren't going out anytime soon.
