Moments When Vicious Jaguars Show Their Superpowers

Jaguars are the largest of South America’s big cats and the world’s third-largest cats. Unlike many other big cats, they do not avoid water; in fact, they are excellent swimmers. They are classified as “big cats“ because of their size, strength, and predatory abilities. If you’ve never seen these big cats in action, trust me, it’s worth the watch, so join us, because we’re getting started. ► Subscribe For New Videos! ► Watch our “15 Cruel Snake Hunting Moments” video here: Watch our “15 Times Crocodile Attacks Caught on Camera” video here: Watch our “15 Cruel Bear Hunting Moments” video here: Jaguar Hunting Caiman This jaguar is named Patrícia, and she lives in the region of Porto Jofre, in the state of Mato Grosso. Wildlife enthusiasts watched her hiding in the vegetation on the riverbank, in search of likely prey to eat and feed her young! She targeted a caiman in the water, and when she went for the kill, she didn’t miss. It is not easy to see a Jaguar feeding - they usually take their prey into the thick bush and eat in peace, so finding a Jaguar eating a Caiman in the open is quite a sight! This female Jaguar had done well to catch such a large Caiman and showed her brute strength by breaking the caiman’s neck. This jaguar killed a caiman and dragged it out of the water, but now it’s the hard part, dragging the caiman over the riverbank. Jaguars are extremely powerful, but it seems like this big cat lacks the training or the strength to take the caiman over the hump, or maybe, the big just feels like eating his meal by the river. Either this jaguar did not receive the proper training from his mom on how to pull dead caimans out of the water, or the caiman is simply stuck in the thickets. Whatever it is, the big cat needs to find a solution, if he wants to eat his dinner. This jaguar has a caiman by the neck, and you can see all the bite marks on the caiman’s head. Jaguars have such a powerful bite that they literally crush the caiman’s brain cavity to kill it. Jaguars are lone hunters, but in this video, two jaguars encounter a small caiman. Maybe it’s a mother-and-son team, and the son is working on his hunting skills, proving to his mom that he’s ready for the big leagues. A fully matured jaguar may capture any crocodilian, regardless of species, such as a Nile or Orinoco croc, or any other Caiman, including the black Caiman, if their head fits in its mouth and it can crush its skull with a single lethal bite. One bite from a jaguar can be enough to snatch a meal. The caiman may still be alive, but it looks stunned and it’s doing absolutely nothing to defend itself, unless it’s dead, of course. After resting, the jaguar grabs the caiman and pulls it up the mound to a safer place. Wildlife enthusiasts watched this female jaguar hunt a caiman in broad daylight, in front of everyone there. The big cat attacked the alligator on the banks of the river and then crossed the junction between the two rivers and went to fetch her two young cubs to share the spoils with them. her cubs were left in a safe place, so they wouldn’t be harmed by other predators until she would return with the kill. Another jaguar crushes a caiman’s head and drags it out of the water to lay it on the beach. Caimans are nasty predators, but they seem defenseless against the big cats. After killing a caiman, a jaguar can be seen walking along the riverbank with his victim in his mouth, heading to a better and more comfortable location so he can eat in peace. One bite from a jaguar can be enough to snatch a meal. The dead caiman is dragged out of the ring by the winner, as the big cat takes his dinner into the dining room. Jaguar Preying On Turtle If you didn’t know before, jaguars do it turtles, and this mom is now introducing her two cubs to the delicacy, so they get used to cracking the secret of the hard shell. Welcome to a special beach in Costa Rica, where two worlds collide: Olive Ridley Sea turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs and secretive jaguars looking for a meal. This is a unique predator-prey relationship happening on a beach around two miles long. This large turtle feeds a lot of mouths as you can see in the video. This video demonstrates that jaguars will occasionally attack, kill, and eat turtles. This jaguar is digging into this turtle without remorse, and it looks like he wouldn’t have it any other way. Each year, thousands of Olive Ridley Sea turtles visit this Costa Rican beach to lay their eggs. This three-day nesting event, known as the arribada, also draws powerful jaguars in search of a meal.
