Not As Cute As You Think

Moreover, its behavioral and habitat characteristics are closer to those of the tiger : the jaguar habitat is commonly composed by dense rainforest however this spotted cat can also be found in forested and open terrains. Just like the tiger, the jaguar enjoys water.
Size : 120-180 cm lengh (head and body), females are generally smaller than males (10-20%).
