In South America, people have repeatedly photographed the picture of jaguars preying on crocodiles, and why do the usually fierce crocodiles have no power to fight back in front of jaguars?

In the impression of many people, although the leopard is one of the top predators, it is far inferior to tigers, lions, let alone fight with crocodiles, and will subconsciously think that leopards are weak in combat, but the jaguar is very different from other leopards.

Jaguar, also known as jaguar, belongs to one of the world's largest cats (second only to tigers and lions), 1.1-1.8 meters long (excluding tail), weighs 70-180 kg, and has a bite force of about 570 kg, surpassing tigers and lions.

Moreover, the jaguar has developed limbs and a strong body, and is also very good at sneaking sneak attacks, climbing trees, swimming, and even daring to face the hard mountain lion.

The crocodile that coincides with the jaguar territory in the Americas is called the eye caiman, which belongs to the smaller type of caiman, generally 1.2-2.5 meters long and weighs 20-50 kg. Feeding on a variety of fish, shrimp and insects, although there are also fangs in the mouth, but not sharp enough, the bite force is not strong, so the eye caiman is also known as one of the most popular crocodiles in the world.

Such a weakly aggressive crocodile naturally has no resistance when facing a jaguar with strong aggression and excellent hunting skills.

Jaguars usually lie in ambush by the river, once the eye caiman emerges, the jaguar will suddenly attack, aiming at the head of the caiman and biting violently, the powerful bite force can instantly penetrate the scales behind the eye caiman, and even directly bite the skull of the eye caiman.

And jaguars are very good at swimming, even in the water, they will constantly bite the eyes of caimans. Unless the caiman is large and resists the first round of jaguar attacks, it is difficult to escape the jaguar's hunting.

So why didn't such a strong jaguar breed wildly, but instead was on the verge of extinction?

Although jaguars belong to the top predators in the Americas, there are also competitors, such as forest hoppers, mountain lions, brown bears, American crocodiles, etc., which are all competitive and are unlikely to breed under each other's control.

Secondly, the jaguar has gorgeous fur and sharp teeth, fur can sell for tens of thousands of dollars, teeth can also sell for thousands of dollars, so in the 90s it was hunted by humans, resulting in a sharp decrease in numbers. Although jaguars have been included in the list of internationally protected animals, some unscrupulous elements are still willing to take risks to poach jaguars.

In addition, due to the destruction of nature by humans, the habitat of jaguars is decreasing, the prey that can be preyed is less and less, and reproduction is becoming more and more difficult.

Overall, the jaguar is definitely one of the most perfectly evolved cats in the world, but unfortunately, even the strongest predator cannot escape the killing of humans. #I'm going to make micro-headlines##Animal##美洲豹 #
