Attack of the Jaguar

37

Jaguars aren’t picky eaters. There are over 85 species of animal that are part of their diet. When they spot one of their favourites, they jump out from a hidden spot and pounce on the animal. Then, the jaguar kills its prey by piercing the unlucky animal’s skull, between the ears. Their jaws are so powerful that they can pierce through the toughest alligator skin and even turtle shells.
