This is exciting - Magnum Black Jaguar Growl. See the Magnum at Discovery Wildlife Park Showing off his growl. Jaguars are the Americas Panther. The Black Jaguar is beautiful.
The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large felid species and the only extant member of the genus Panthera native to the Americas. The jaguar's present range certainly extends from the southwestern United States and Mexico in North America, across much of Central America, and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina in South America. Though there are single cats now living within Arizona, the species has largely been extirpated from the United States since the early 20th century. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. Its numbers are declining. Threats include certain loss and fragmentation of habitat.
Jaguars are pretty powerful animals. The amazing animals hunt fish, turtles, and even caimans, using their incredibly powerful jaws to pierce the animals' skulls. Jaguars also eat deer, peccaries, capybaras, tapirs, and a number of other land animals, which they prefer to ambush at night.
