Beautifull animal...It would be a shame if he desapears (sorry for my bad emglish)

[yoyey]

(NOT THE LEOPARD)... The JAGUAR is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, The JAGUAR has developed an exceptionally powerful bite, even relative to the other big cats. It is an adaptation that allows it to pierce the shells of armoured reptiles.

[apharot]

The strength part goes back and forth between it and the leopard.  Both are capable of carrying up to three times their weight straight up a tree. That's simply amazing.

[ComradeFlorian28]

The cats at 0:19 and 0:27 look very much like leopards

[ironwhim42]

Not sure about 0:19, but 0:27 is definitely a leopard. The facial structure is all wrong for a jaguar.

[TheLeopardTail]

@ironwhim42 If you look at the rosettes, it's definitely a jaguar.

[iluvsugar613]

they have long tounges

[helenofithaca]

Cool title.

I think that the Jaguars are the most beautiful of the wild cats.

[megaman2160]

ive also herd that lions, tigers, pumas, and snow leopards can also be born black.

[hickmantaylor]

lions and tigers can be white while pumas don't turn any color and i'm not sure about the snow leopard

[jakebaldacchino]

snow leopards are white and tan mixed color with black spots

[hickmantaylor]

Yes, I know, but snow leopards are not a sub-species of the leopard. The snow leopard may be considered to be in the genus Panthera, but not related to the leopard. I'm talking about leopards (Panthera Pardus), not snow leopards.

[TheLeopardTail]

@hickmantaylor Is it? I thought the snow leopard was Onca Onca....

[hickmantaylor]

@TheLeopardTail: No, the snow leopard's Latin name is Uncia uncia,

[TheLeopardTail]

Right, that's what I meant, but my point was that it's not from the Panthera genus..

[hickmantaylor]

If you research the snow leopard, then some people may consider it in the Panthera genus...

[TheLeopardTail]

Oh, that's interesting. I assumed the Panthera genus was restricted to roaring big cats. Structurally speaking, those four are the closest to one another. I suppose I can see how the snow leopard could be considered similar, especially to the leopard in body type. Thanks for the info.

[hickmantaylor]

@TheLeopardTail: If you want to know more on the snow leopard, then you should look at Wikipedia or another website.

[nasermeter]

@TheLeopardTail is not from the Panthera genus but scientist have thinking of changing its scientist name "Panthera Onca" cause this leopard can roar.

[MrRam17]

@hickmantaylor And Panthera uncia both are correct until further research is done on the snow leopard's lineage.

[hickmantaylor]

And this video is on jaguars, not leopards or snow leopards.

[Beatpoet7371]

Due to one gene out of a pair, or a series of different forms of a gene, BLACK JAGUARS ARE THE ONLY NATURAL BLACK PANTHER.

BLACK LEOPARDS ARE NOT NATURALLY BLACK -- they're selectively bred in captivity (zoo and animal trade)

[SaiyaMel]

wrong. melanistic leopards also do occur naturally in the wild - mostly in the dense tropical forests in southeast asia... about the only thing is is that it is a recessive trait in the leopard and dominant in the jaguar. that is why it occurs less commonly in wild leopard populations.

[Beatpoet7371]

Black leopards do exist, but not as commonly as black jags ... the TRUE black cat, with no visible pattern on its fur. Black leopards are still mated for trade reasons and in captivity, more than they occur naturally in the wild. A black leopard's color is genetically not as PURE and SOLID as that of the black jaguar, which is why black jags are truly the more beautiful of the two cats in my opinion, black leopards rosette patterns tend to show as rusty or tawny over black.

[SaiyaMel]

wrong again. google up images of melanistic jags and some research on them...they're NOT truly black either.. ALL jaguars and leopards (unless it's some weird mutation or something) have spots and rosettes, both of which on the melanistic phase - become visible under certain amounts of light.

[Beatpoet7371]

Patterns are less visible on black jags if there is a pattern on fur.

[hickmantaylor]

there are leopards that are melanistic in the wild mainly in Asia

[SaiyaMel]

0:18 and 0:27 are leopards so you know. ;)

[Beatpoet7371]

SaiyaMel, I saw that too. Jags have big rosettes and Leopards have smaller once -- and Jags have humongous heads, leopards don't.

[supersandor]

And :29 was a snow leopard. What's your point?

[SaiyaMel]

my point is that this is a jaguar vid but the person who made it made the mistake of tossing in a couple of leopard pics... it's no big deal,,,just thought i'd point out just for the hell of it..

[SaiyaMel]

that wasn't a snow leopard...trust me i have an eye when it comes to identifying big cat species. snow leopards and leopards have somewhat different heads and facial patterns...and the SL's coat is always of a grayish tone. looks to me like a persian or amur leopard - which have more fur than the more tropical subspecies.

[supersandor]

But it's black on white, not yellow. And how can you tell with the shape of the head with that face it's making?

[SaiyaMel]

it's not in b/w. look again and you'll see a pink tongue.. also, the bas color on that cat is a pale tawny/yellow - seen on some leopards but not found in snow leopards. even when snarling...the area between the eyes is noticeably broader on the sl and tapers/narrows more towards the nose..

[SaiyaMel]

further more - sl has a dark arched line marking above both eyes,, and fewer spots on the head. the sl's spots/rossetes are also tend to be more faint.

[supersandor]

The COLOR, man, the COLOR! Just look at the color of the animal! Only snow leopards are that color. Leopards and jaguars are black on yellow-orange or all black.

[SaiyaMel]

sweet mother of Jesus...

no offense man...are you colorblind or something? in either case this is silly,, i see no point in arguing about this any further...

The cat is a pale buffy yellow, and it's some subspecies of PANTHERA PARDUS - end of the story.

[supersandor]

Funny, I was just thinking you were colorblind. That is the exact tone of color of an uncia uncia.

[master2coupe]

with some decent music, this would be an absolutely excellent clip

good pics though, nice work

[lisole]

pretty pretty kittys

[the80sdumpster]

yep

[ttrim347]

beautiful cats, they look so similar to the leopard
