One of my favorite cat species is the Jaguar (Panthera onca). Native to Central and South America (as well as the very Southernmost parts of Arizona, USA) these animals prefer thick forest as their habitat but can also be found in wetlands and dry grasslands. These creatures are most abundant in Tropical Rainforests. Growing up to six feet long (not including the tail) and standing 30 inches at the shoulder, these large cats are quite amazing.

Beautiful cat. A friend who is a native of Costa Rica once told about his mother telling him about jaguars entering her village at night when she was growing up in Venezuala.
Wow! I'm not sure if I would like that too much! Of course if I had my camera...
