jaguar (Panthera onca)


THE JAGUAR. The most dreaded denizen of the forests of the New World is the Jaguar. It attacks mammals and birds, from the largest to the smallest ; devours Turtles, and will lie on a tree branch on the bank oi a running stream, watching for big fish which it frequently. succeeds in catching in the manner portrayed in the picture. It is stated as a singular fact that the Jaguar never attacks the Electrical Eel that abounds in South American waters, seeming to know that its only reward would be a shock. (Felis onca.) (123)
