When a jaguar pounces, sometimes one bite is all it takes to get a meal. National Geographic has exclusive video of a jaguar taking down a caiman in Brazil's Pantanal wetlands. Luke Dollar, a conservation scientist who helps manage National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative, explains the hunt and explosive moment of predation.

I don’t trust cats
Before viewing the video, I would have put money on the Crocodile. I’m impressed with the Jaguar.
Amazing!
Who’d thought alligators would be prey.
I was in the mountains one day, and the trail turned into an animal trail...I picked up the Cougar tracks and pooff they was gone.
SOB peeled of and was stalking me!
Tey always hit from behind
A feral house cat started showing up on my porch about 6 months ago. About the same time I noticed all the lizards had disappeared.
I probably liked the lizards better but took mercy on her and began feeding her. She is a really pretty cat but now she has 5 kittens. I will have to put up a “free kittens” sign in a month or so.
For some reason that jaguar’s movements made me think of her after a lizard.
Dunno.
They go right to the back of the neck
That was most definitely an awesome thing to watch. Thanks!
Buddy of mine had a 40 something Kaiser/Nash with alligator seats and an alligator top, chrome dashboard so’s you could wash the blood off easy LOL
Still I respect snapigators
Them basitids can move in a burst!
When he comes out of the water from his first swim, it confirms what we see: he has big ba!!s.
Jaguars eat caymans. Many youtube videos demonstrate. Not all kitties dislike the water.
Jaguars and leopards are my favorite big cats.

House cats are just mini versions of this guy.
Jaguars are the South American version of the leopards in Africa. Of all the big cats, jaguars are by far the best swimmers and leopards are the best tree climbers.
In parts of South America, caimans are one of the main sources of food for jaguars.

Yep. And both are incredibly strong. It’s amazing seeing what a leopard can carry up a tree. Jaguars can haul an amazing amount of weight too.
Amazing video
Contrary to popular belief, the ordinary house cat is a good swimmer.
