These fearsome, bone-crushing felines are the undisputed kings of their many domains. Reaching lengths of 6 feet and weighing little more than 200 pounds, they are not the largest cats; but they can bring down animals much larger than themselves with their crushing bite. They are ambush masters, and given the element of surprise, a single jaguar can hunt down a creature as large as an adult bull. A jaguar that ambushes a group of travelers can easily crush the life out of the frailest member of their party and drag the fresh kill away before the rest of the group even has the chance to react.
