Field Notes

Description:

The background coat color is reddish yellow, except in the inside of the ears, the lower part of the muzzle, jaws and throat and the ventral parts. In these areas the color is lighter; in the lower legs the predominant color is white.

Habitat:

Jungle and rain forest

Notes:

Jaguar is the third largest feline, and the largest in the west hemisphere. It's a threatened species due to habitat loss and conflicts with humans.

It was sad to me seeing this wonderful species as part of a circus parade that visited my city. Why should wild animals be part of circuses shows?
