The jaguar has an exceptionally powerful bite, even relative to the other big cats. This allows it to pierce the shells of armoured reptiles and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of prey between the ears to deliver a fatal bite to the brain. Jaguars feed on over 60 different kinds animals. Their diet includes rodents, peccaries, deer, birds, fish, armadillos, turtles, crocodiles, capybaras, deer, and tapirs. In the trees they prey on birds and monkeys, and will feed on turtles and fish in the rivers. They also prey on sheep and cattle, which is why humans kill them. Jaguars rarely attack humans.
